How to make homemade dog treats
Bake your pet pooch a treat with our Christmas pudding dog treats recipe. With a prep time of just 15 minutes, homemade dog biscuits are an easy, effective, and healthy way to reward and love your furry friend.
These dog treats are not a meal substitute and should only be given as part of a healthy balanced diet and plenty of fresh clean water should be available at all times.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 190°C /170°C fan/ Gas mark 5. Line two baking trays with baking parchment.
Step 2:
Mix the flour and oats in a bowl then in a jug whisk together the peanut butter, honey, egg and water.
Step 3:
Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the peanut butter mixture then using a palette knife bring together the mixture to make a stiff dough.
Step 4:
Next, roll out the dough on a surface lightly dusted with flour to 4mm thickness and cut out 30 rounds using a 5cm plain round cutter. Transfer the cookies onto the baking sheets slightly spaced apart.
Step 5:
Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes until golden brown then remove the trays from the oven and leave the cookies to cool slightly on the trays before transfering to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6:
When ready to decorate, mix together the yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Put the yogurt in a small piping bag and snip the end. Pipe a small amount of yogurt on each cookie to resemble the sauce on top of a Christmas pudding. Finally add a dried cranberry on top of the yogurt.
Step 7:
Keep the cookies in an airtight tin and only decorate when ready to serve each cookie to prevent them from becoming soggy.

My dog likes it
Hello! This recipe looks yummy and healthy!
How many days can they be stored?
Moreover, are they also recommended for dogs who need to lose weight?
Thank you so much! 😀
These biscuits when stored correctly in an airtight container could last 3-5 days. Or alternatively you could freeze these for a later date.
We recommend these biscuits as part of a balanced diet for your dog not as a meal substitute.
