We all enjoy the occasional tasty treat, but if you have a Frenchie, you know they simply love it. They are all about getting attention, love and, well, treats. If you’re looking to spend quality time in the kitchen and with your French bulldog, why not surprise them with a homemade treat? You don’t have to be a 5-star chef to do it. All it takes is a couple of ingredients, basic kitchen supplies, and a ton of good mood. Are you ready? Here are seven mouthwatering recipes to try at home for your furry friend!
Dog biscuits – The ultimate French bulldog treat
In less than half an hour, you can serve the most delicious treat to your pooch. One sniff and your Frenchie’s well-known piggy-like snorting noises will fill the house! All you need is peanut butter, oats, flaxseed, whole wheat flour, and beef broth. You just mix all ingredients together, cut out the biscuits in the shape you want, and bake for 20 minutes. Simple as that.
Dog fries – who said fries are for humans only?
Not many French bulldog treats are as easy to make as this one. Just grab a sweet potato, peel and cut it into any shape you like, coat them with coconut oil, and season the batch with turmeric and cinnamon. The total baking time is about 30 to 35 minutes (you need to flip over the pieces midway through baking for an even bake). Take them out when they get golden and sizzling. Easy-peasy!
Cheesy sticks – try not to drool while making them
Ideal for a lazy Sunday afternoon when all you want is to play around with your Frenchie and experiment in the kitchen, these cheesy dog sticks will keep your dog asking for more and more. You’ll need only four simple ingredients: two cups of shredded cheese, four cups of flour, water, and oil. Mix them all together until you have a stiff dough, cut the sticks in the desired shape (you can use a bone-shaped cutter), and bake for around 2 ½ to 3 hours. Bon appétit!
The two-ingredient biscuits – mega delicious & super easy to make
You won’t believe how easy these dog biscuits are to make. All you need is two cups of organic whole wheat flour (or rolled oats, spelt, and wheat germ) and 2 jars of baby food (chicken, sweet potato, blueberry, beef, etc.). If you are new to cooking and dog treat recipes, in general, this is the perfect thing to start with. The batter is super easy to prep: you need to combine the ingredients, and then it’s just a couple of minutes of shaping or cutting the biscuits until they are ready to go in the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes and you’re good to go.
Frozen apple treats – did somebody say dessert?
If cooking isn’t your strong suit, we have good news because this next recipe doesn’t even require cooking or kneading or baking, or any of that. In fact, even though these treats are for Frenchies, you can actually have some of them, too. Just get two apples, a cup of greek, nonfat yogurt, and water. You’ll need a blender to mix them together. Once it’s done, distribute the batter into an ice cube tray and refrigerate for a couple of hours until it becomes solid. From then on, it’s up to you and your French bulldog to devour the batch!
Diabetic homemade dog treats – a total must-try
Finding proper treats when you have a diabetic dog at home can be quite the challenge sometimes (if not all times). So, as long as you have fifteen minutes to spare, we have the perfect suggestion for tasty dog treat recipes suitable for diabetic Frenchies. To make this treat, you’ll need two eggs, ½ cup whole wheat flour, and 1 ½ pound beef liver (cut into small pieces). Chop the liver into a food processor, then add the eggs and flour until you have a smooth batter. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven, and tell your dog dinner has been served!
Dog pupsicles – when pumpkin, bacon, and blueberries meet
First off, this dog treat recipe requires no baking, so you can whew now. Secondly, this treat is so delicious, your Frenchie might get addicted to it. Now, the basics: you’ll need 1 cup of water, a handful of blueberries, 1 can of pumpkin, and 1 strip of bacon. For the handles of the “pupsicles,” you can use rawhide sticks. Put everything except the blueberries in a blender and process until smooth. Put a couple of blueberries at the bottom of each mold and pour the mixture over it. Don’t forget to tap the mold on the countertop to remove bubbles. Refrigerate until solid, and it’s nom-nom time.
