    Homemade Dog Treats With Rolled Oats

    It's no secret, dogs love treats! But your pup will REALLY love these homemade dog treats with rolled oats! Plus, they're super easy and fast to make.

    The Story Behind These Homemade Dog Treats With Rolled Oats

    The summer of 2011, we lost our beloved loyal companion of 12 years, our sweet dog Thor. We hadn't planned on adopting another dog so soon, but fate worked its lovely miraculous hands and into our lives in November of that year came a super sweet, happy, smart, lovable guard dog named Kirby. Our children were enamored, and their smiles filled my mama heart with so much joy.

    My kids LOVE birthdays. Kirby's birthday was just a couple of months after we adopted him. So from the time we adopted him, the kids wouldn't stop talking about his birthday, and how he was going to turn three.

    What should we get Kirby for his birthday? Is he going to have a party? What do you think we should make Kirby for his birthday? We are so excited for Kirby's birthday!! Kirby, are you excited for your birthday? We are! Let's make him some treats! And on and on and on it went.

    So, we made these homemade dog biscuits (recipe below). The trick was figuring out what ingredients to add. We knew he loved peanut butter, so that was a given. Then we decided to include rolled oats for more texture and extra nutrition. They were easy to make - and he loved them!

    Kirby love his special stack of birthday star treats. He did not blow out the candle, but happily gobbled up the treats.

    I designed some labels for the treat jars for Kirby's presents, and then we also filled some take out containers with treats for our guests to take home to their own doggies.

    ::DIY BLISS TIP:: Save all containers that enter your house -- you can reuse them for so many things! The smaller takeout containers were actual takeout containers from restaurants and delis, and the the taller container with blue lid is a former peanut butter jar. Give these a super good wash when the contents are done, and they are good to go! We use these for the kids' art supply containers, office supply containers, party favor and gift containers, and so much more.

    For the human guests, in addition to traditional party food, we made sugar cookies dipped in chocolate in the shape of dog bones.

    Overall, the party was a success. Kirby was smiling his sweet happy dog smile and my kids beamed from ear to ear. I realized afterward that it was really a celebration of Kirby's entrance into our family, and I love that our kids were so insistent on doing this for him.

    Ingredients

    • 2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
    • 1 cup rolled oats
    • ½ cup peanut butter smooth
    • 1 ¼ cups hot water
    • 1 egg lightly beaten
    • Extra flour for rolling the dough

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • In a large bowl, mix the flour and oats.
    • Add in the peanut butter and hot water and stir well.
    • Once all of the ingredients are well incorporated, knead the dough a few times.
    • Roll out the dough onto a floured surface until it is about ¼? thick.
    • Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place onto a lightly greased baking sheet, or baking sheet with Silpat.
    • With a pastry brush, lightly brush egg onto top of each biscuit.
    • Bake for 30-40 minutes. After removing biscuits from the oven, cool on the baking sheet for at least one hour.

    Notes

    These homemade healthy dog biscuits should stay fresh for about one week if kept in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 6 months.

        I am sure Kirby had a lot of fun on his birthday party, and those treats looked so yummylicious I had to try it. And I must say, the recipe for the dog treat is really nice. I tried it and my dog seems to love it too. Thanks for the recipe.

        Tried making the wheat free treats. Dough was super crumbly. Will try to add in more oil and see if that helps.
