Homemade Dog Treats – Baked Zucchini Dog Biscuits
Happy weekend! With everyone snowed in and temperatures below zero around the country I thought we would share a way to warm your house and home and in the process make a special and healthy treat for your dog. Baked Zucchini Dog Biscuits anyone?
Your dog will go crazy for these homemade dog treats! These baked biscuits are slightly crunchy on the outside and are soft and chewy on the inside. If you’re trying to introduce more vegetables into your pet’s diet, these treats are a great way to add zucchini when a dog wouldn’t otherwise be interested in eating it. Your dog will thank you for making these yummy dog treats!
The batter used in this recipe can be very sticky, so grease your pan, work surface, and hands before handling it.

I’ve never added zucchini to dog treats but that might have to change this summer!!

I’m going to try many of these dog treats (blueberry peanut butter first!) … do they need to be refrigerated or how long can they be stored or frozen? Thanks.
These sound excellent! Mom loves zucchini so it’s always around the house, but she’s never made me treats with it before. That will definitely be changing!

Thanks for sharing! Here are another new recipe for me to make homemade dog treats for my loved “Kyle”. What’s importantly, I also know that zucchini fruit is low in calories and I’m not afraid to add it to Kyle’s diet. I can’t wait to having a try this afternoon.
Fabulous recipe. We have so much zucchini coming out right now that I didnt know what to do with it all.
I added some carrot to one batch and the dogs just LOVE IT.
I actually add less flour and put them in the freezer to make them crunchy. Makes a nice dog popsicle for the summer time 😀

I added 1/2 flax seed. Made the dough less sticky and added another nutritional ingredient.
This does look promising. I’ll keep coming back for more.
