How to Make Homemade Dog Treats From Baby Food

You can make homemade dog treats in just a few minutes, with just a few ingredients. These soft dog cookies are easy to make and dogs love them because they are fresh and have more flavor than commercial dog treats. The baby food base makes these treats very soft, so they are good for dogs that have problems chewing.

  • Small mixing bowl
  • 6-7 oz. smooth meat-flavored baby food

      Measure all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix them by hand until they are well combined.

      Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the greased cookie sheet. If the dough is too moist to roll, add a little more powdered milk or wheat germ. Flatten the balls slightly.

      Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until they start to brown. Remove them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then finish cooling them on a wire rack.
      To keep the cookies fresh, refrigerate or freeze them.
