Edible Baskets for Dogs

Most of us adore our little four-legged companions. Create the perfect gift for your dog: a basket full of edible dog treats. Nothing needs to be wasted. Even the container that holds the smaller goodies can be edible. This is one gift your dog is guaranteed to love.

  1. Making an Edible Container

    • Use a rolling pin to flatten out a dog biscuit mixture to shape a container for other goodies.

      If you are considering making an edible dog basket for your favorite pooch, why not consider making it truly edible? You can use almost any dog biscuit recipe to make an edible container for your dog goodie basket.

      Simply follow any dog biscuit recipe, but use a rolling pin to flatten out the mixture as thin as possible. Then create a basket by cutting out a base and pinching the materials together like a pie crust. You'll have the perfect container for your goodies that doubles as a snack. Just break off a piece and give your pup a treat until it's all gone.

    Doggie Biscuits

    • Include homemade biscuits in your basket.

      You can fill your edible dog basket with store-bought biscuits of all shapes and sizes. Your dog will certainly appreciate the treats. However, if you want to give your precious pup something really special, make your own dog biscuits. A quick search on the Web will give you dozens of all-natural dog biscuit recipes you can easily make in your home. And the best part is that you'll know all the ingredients were fresh.

    Dried Food Snacks

    • Explore dried food options for edible dog basket treats.

      Most people don't think about it, but dried fruits and vegetables are a natural treat that many dogs can enjoy. From green beans to carrot strips, you can air dry natural treats for your dog to include in your doggie basket. You can also use a food dehydrator for drying snack items. Or, for those of us who don't own a dehydrator, you can set your oven to a 150 degrees and slow bake snacks for 6 to 8 hours until they are dry.

    Homemade Dog Gravy

    • Some dogs love gravy just as much as their humans.

      This is a special dog treat for picky eaters. You can make your favorite canine a homemade gravy to put on their dry kibble and make it more attractive for them to eat. Some dogs are no different than their owners. They don't want to eat dry, boring food. You can make a wholesome gravy from chicken, vegetable or beef broth and jar it up for a special treat to include in your basket.
