Blueberry Dog Treats

Just like blueberries are good for you, they are also fabulous for your dog. These Blueberry Dog Treats are loaded with antioxidants that protect cells, cognitive function, prevent cancer, and heart disease. They make a perfect treat for your pup’s health. These yummy healthy dog treats can also be made with cranberries, blackberries, strawberries, or raspberries. You will notice I use ground flax seed a lot in my dog treat recipes, this is a great ingredient to use in place of some of the flour in your favorite recipes- flax seed contain a punch of omega 3’s, and fiber that can benefit your dog’s health. Finally Greek yogurt adds a heap of protein, all of these ingredients combine together to create an amazingly healthy and tasty snack for your pup.

    When does the Greek yogurt come into play?

      Hello Anna! Thank you for pointing that out. I fixed the recipe to include those instructions now. “Fold blueberries and yogurt into dry ingredients, add a bit of water if necessary to hold dough together.” I hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by! :)

    can another more wholesome flour be used instead of whole wheat?

    1. Sue

      I use only gluten free flours for all my dog treats. You can get a good variety at Amazon or Nuts.com.

    2. Leesa Lear

      you can use many different kinds, there is coconut, which in gluten free and apple, rice, brown rice too.

    How many does this recipe yield?

    My dog has severe allergies, and we have recently started making her food. I would love to make her treats as well but I’m having a hard time finding recipes that don’t include wheat, oats, or peanut butter. She can have the flax, but could the wheat and oats be replaced with rice, or barley…..or anything else. I’m still new to making all this, so I’m not knowledgeable of all replacements, or exchanges. Thanks in advance :-)

      I use only buckwheat ( not a wheat product…only a name) or chick pea flour due to severe allergies on Ace

      I use rice flour instead of whole wheat flour and treats are crunchier which my dog loves.

      1. Homemade Dog Treats

        Great idea! Glad your dog loves it. :)

    Do these stay soft or do they harden up after they bake?

    My one year old Malti-Tzu loves these. I made a batch to send home with my Friendsgiving people.

    Got me thinkin’. How ’bout a dog biscuit exchange instead of a cookie exchange this holiday season?

    1. Homemade Dog Treats

      So glad your dog loves them! A dog biscuit exchange sounds perfect. :)

    Do you have to incorporate the flax seed?

    1. Homemade Dog Treats

      No it isn’t a requirement but it is a added health bonus. Thanks for stopping by! :)

    what can you use in place of the flax seeds. seems like no one here carries them.

    1. cathie hall

      costco has ground flax pretty reasonably priced.

  9. Elle

    What is the shelf life on these?

  10. Alex

    Can you make this without using ground flax seeds? If so, how much flour would you use instead – 1-3/4 cups?

    Thanks for reading.

  11. jen

    I did use flax seeds. I used an extra one fourth cup of flour instead. Turned out fine.

  12. jen

    Sorry about that comment. I DID NOT use flax seed at all.

  13. jen

    I just left the flax seeds out when I made these.

  14. Ashly Pfeifer

    Do these HAVE to be refrogerated since everything was baked?

  15. Dogowner2

    Substituted oat flour for whole wheat flour since our dogs are gluten free and they turned out great. These need to be refrigerated and will keep for up to a week max (b/c of greek yogurt) or freeze them and take out as needed. I made double batch of recipe and laid them out on cookie sheet and froze them all, then sealed in ziplock bag once frozen and I just take them out and let them thaw/warm up to room temp as needed – works great. Bake less if you want a softer consistency – longer for more of a “hard” biscuit consistency. Dogs love them and they’re very healthy – especially with added ground flax seed :)

    West coast canine has an awesome premix that you can use instead of a flour product. All organic and kosher. Love it!
