These homemade sweet potato dog treats contain only natural, healthy ingredients that your pup will LOVE!

And when I say love, I mean pester you for these sweet potato dog treats every waking moment.

Are you one of those dog parents who’s ‘child’ is motivated by food?  Yep, yep, yep.

Wake up, moan about not eating, out for walk, treat for being good, sleep, eat, sleep, moan about not eating, sleep, out for a walk, sleep, eat, beg for more food, sleep.  Meg’s day in a nutshell.

Rinse and repeat tomorrow.

But I know she’s happy, after all, she certainly seems like a happy dog.  Especially when she gets home made treats like these sweet potato dog biscuits.  Just seven ingredients and around an hour and you can have enough doggie biscuits to keep your pup happy for weeks as these also freeze really well.  Or you can spread the puppy love and share with your doggie friends.  Meg disapproves of this.

I’ve used wholemeal flour in this dog biscuit recipe but if your pup has wheat allergies or gluten intolerance you could substitute with oat flour or even gluten free flour to make them grain free dog treats.  Meg however will eat anything (and probably has at some point).

You can also cut them into whatever shape you like.  They won’t care if they’re heart shaped or poo shaped.  The whimsical shapes are for us silly humans.

Same with these Bluberry and Yoghurt Dog Treats.  And these Pumpkin Dog Biscuits.  Any and all food is only in Meg’s mouth the time it takes to get from the front to the back.  There’s rarely even teeth involved!

The rolled thickness of these homemade dog biscuits will change their finished texture.

The thinner you roll them the more ‘snap’ these biscuits will have.  If they’re thicker they’ll be more chewy than crunchy.  Again, either way they won’t care.

Just give me the damn biscuit already …

I’ve also pretty much given up hope that Meg will be THAT dog that sits still, lets you balance all kinds of crap on her head and doesn’t drool at the mere prospect of food.  And I’ve resigned myself to never getting a decent photo of her being fed her treats.  For every one decent photo of her eating her homemade dog treats I think I take 100+ photos!  Do you have a dog that will just happily pose?  Sit there patiently rather than almost take your fingers off when she/he finally gets the doggie treat?
