Boy do I have a treat for you! A dog treat. HA.HA.

Anyway, here are two homemade dog treats for you! One extra stinky one from me, and one delicious-smelling one from my friend Jen at JustEatLife

. The stinky treats are made with sardines, any kind of whole grain flour you want to use, and dry milk. I add a little molasses, too. Jen’s are gluten-free, made from peanut butter, sweet potato, and oat flour and the recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2- 3.75 ounce whole sardines in water
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or oat, rye, barley flour)
  • 1/4 cup dry milk
  • 1 tablespoon molasses

  1. Set oven to 350ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Drain sardines, reserving liquid, and place into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until fairly smooth.
  3. Add remaining ingredients and mix with fork. If you need to add some of the sardine packing liquid to get a smooth dough, then do so.
  4. Once combined well, drop by teaspoons onto the baking sheet. Use the fork tines to flatten them slightly.

    was excited to see todays recipe until I saw the flour 8(………Rescued a lab mix a few weeks ago, only to find he has intestinal issues and has vision issues 8(…….But then there was the bonus video from the other gal and everything about it is Perfect but doesn’t give a recipe just guidelines 8( did you perchance get the specific amounts. At this point all I can give him to eat is sweet potatoes and boiled chicken so would be nice to make Gustav some treats too………
    Do you think that using the rice flour would work with the sardines??

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Hi! Yes, any kind of flour — oat, rice — would work in this recipe, too. Really just using something as a binder to make them kind of sticky.
      I have this recipe that Jen sent me. I’ll post it here because it’s not on her website yet, but once she adds it, I will link to that, too.

      2 cups oat flour
      1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter
      1 medium cooked sweet potato (w/o skin)
      1 egg
      1 teaspoon ground flax seed
      1/2 cupish water

      So happy to hear about your rescue dog, even if he does have some physical ailments, I’m sure he’s as sweet and smart as can be! So glad you chose to rescue a pup. 🙂

        Thanks, i’m literally shutting down the PC and off to the kitchen to make both of these to have a taste off with Gustav. With all the sweet potatoes he eats I bet he’ll pick the sardines hehe

          Yay! Send me a picture of your doggie eating them if you can!

            First batch was gone before my SO came home with the camera, wouldn’t you know the one day I need it he needed to use it at work 8( but I definately will be making again and i’ll send you the picture. And yes you were the WINNER of the taste test

          2. Hilah Avatar

            Ha! Well, I am happy they were a hit. 🙂

            made another batch of both biscuits and video taped him, you asked for pics but is there an email address you can email me where I can send you a link?? When you look at him its hard to believe he’s so sickly 8( and has limited vision etc…….but I guess if he could see well etc he wouldn’t be as funny either 8)

    Hilah, can I use regular wet milk instead of dry?

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Hi Faren!
      They will be too wet if you use regular milk. If you don’t have dry milk, just use a little more flour. They will be fine!

        Oh my goshhhhh! I shall call these crack treats, ’cause that’s what my dog appears to be on having tasted them. It’s seemingly the best thing she’s ever tasted. (I bought the dry milk btw)

        1. Hilah Avatar

          Oh yay!!! 😀 So glad to hear that, Faren!

    Mmmmm…. i want to be your dog sexy taco mama. 😛

    Just bought your paperback breakfast taco book, can’t wait to see what’s in there. Your first book is very helpful. No more McNuggets for me, and I fix my rusty skillet. Now I’m making migas like I used to get in San Marcos.

    Kudos to you for this awesome website 🙂

      Thanks, Mike! I hope you enjoy the taco book as much!

    Would the sardines make the treats salty?

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Good question, Deana! Sardines packed in water or oil usually don’t have salt added. Just check the ingredients list on them to make sure.

        Thank you! I found the sardines like the one you
        used. Can I omit molasses cuz I don’t have that. I have 2 frenchies and really want to make these for them. Thanks.

        1. Hilah Avatar

          Yes, you can omit the molasses. No problem!

    Awesome recipe!!!, just wanted to ask if you store them at room temperature or refrigerated, and for how long can they be stored?

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Hi Vanessa!
      I store these at room temp for a week, longer I put them in the fridge. If you can make yours small (like a teaspoon of dough each) they dry out almost completely in the oven and are better for long term storage. I still keep them in the fridge, though, to be safe. 🙂

    I made these again since the furbids preferred this more than the sweet potatoes & peanut butter version. I added about 1/3 cup of sweet potatoes and a bit more oat flour and beat it with the mixer until the dough pulls from the side of the mixing bowl and was able to put it between parchment paper to roll and cut out shapes. I took pics of it to show you but don’t know how to post it here. I baked it for about 30 minutes until its crunchy so you can leave it outside in an airtight container. My dogs love it’s! Thank you again for sharing.

      Yay! Thanks for sharing your adjustments to the recipe, Deana.

    How do these treats mell as they are cooking? Does it smell good in the house or slightly repulsive? I want to m,ake them in the lobby of my vet clinic for the dogs,but I don’t want it to smell bad.

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Hey Valerie! They do smell pretty fishy while baking. Not sure I could recommend making them in an office. The sweet potato/peanut butter ones I linked to in this post smell good though!

    For what its worth, today I made my millionth patch of these things and I thought HMMMMMMMMM
    So what I did was to make a triple recipe and then I spread on parchment paper so that it was thin, cooked for 10 minutes and then I took it out and scored it with my bench scraper into little squares and strips. WHY cuz have you priced the goodies to go into KONGS. A little bag of salmon was 12.00….. So i’ve replace the salmon with Sardines 8) and the rest is history cuz he has been at his kong for over an hour and he is one happy pup……….

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Oh hell yes! Thanks for this idea! We have a kong, too, and yes the sticks they make for it are crazy expensive. What I do with it is put a little wet dog food inside and freeze the thing to keep the dog busy longer, but I’ll try this method!

    Hello, Hilah!

    Thanks for the great recipe. We are going to be proud owners of a new Aussie Labradoodle pup in the next several weeks. I understand that dairy products is not something you want to give to dogs, but I’m assuming that when put as an ingredient in your recipe and baked, it’s okay? Thanks for your input. Can’t wait to try this recipe when our puppy is more mature.

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Hi Kathya!
      I’m not sure who says that dairy isn’t good for dogs but ours eat these and the occasional bite of cheese with no problems. Here’s a list from a ASPCA of foods to avoid giving your dog. http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/foods-are-hazardous-dogs
      But, yes, you probably will want to wait until he’s a little older to give him treats of any kind!

    Hi hilah do you have any samples that you give out it’s for a friend of mine & she’ll be going away soon

    1. Hilah Avatar

      Sorry, Alan, I don’t sell these dog treats. But you can make them for your friend!
