This two-ingredient dog treats recipe is really simple to make. They were created for our dogs that have food allergies and cannot eat common dog treats. We use rice flour for our dogs, but you can use any type of flour your veterinarian approves for your furry companion. Other flour options could be wheat, corn meal, oat flour as long as they can be easily digested by your pal.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Below, we will teach you how to make this two ingredient dog treat recipe by breaking the process into simple steps.  Be sure to read each step before beginning the recipe to avoid common mistakes.

Step 1: Gather your Ingredients

For every successful recipe, it is recommended you measure out your ingredients ahead of time.  The French culinary term for this is mise en place. This simply means to get everything ready or in place.  If you get into the habit of gathering, weighing or measuring and preparing the ingredients ahead of time, you will not only be better prepared, but the recipe is already set up for success.  Prepping also allows you an opportunity to ensure you have all the ingredients on hand. It would be a bad start to begin making this recipe only to find out you are out of an essential ingredient. This preparation will be easy. You only need rice flour and water so this will be easy!

Step 2: Prepare your Pan and Oven

Preheat your oven 350°F (180°C) while you make the dog treats. You will need to line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat. These treats will often stick to even non-stick surfaces.

Step 3: Combine your Ingredients

Add the water to the rice flour and stir using the handle of a sturdy spoon until it forms clumps and you can squeeze the dough together.

It should look like this when well combined.

Step 4: Roll out and Cut the Dough

Divide the dough in half, place on a sheet of parchment or a silicone mat and roll out thinly. You can also use your hands to pat the dough out. I found that a piece of wax or parchment paper works really well for this step as the dough likes to stick to the rolling pin a lot.

About 1/8 inch thick or a little over 3mm is a good sized piece.

Once you roll out the dough, cut it into small squares using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. I like to make them very small about a quarter of an inch to half an inch or 6 – 13 mm.  This way you can give your pet a lot more treats for fewer calories. Your dogs like quantity and don’t really care about the size. I have found over all the years when making training treats, our dogs feel like they are something special when getting several small treats as opposed to one larger one. Don’t worry if your squares aren’t perfect and they look a bit of a mess like mine do. The dogs will just appreciate that you are making them a snack.  

Step 5: Bake

Remove the pan from the oven carefully with dry oven mitts to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes. Break apart along the cut lines.

Pretty soon, you'll have your pal's full attention! Raymond, Maggie and Roxanne are all lined up to try out their new favorite treats.

Substitutions and Tips

Here are some common substitutions and tips for making these two ingredient dog treats.

• Roll the dough out onto a floured surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Bake 15 – 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Instead of white rice flour, you can use brown rice flour, wheat flour, oat flour or even corn flour as long as your veterinarian approves of course. Corn flour will be the most difficult to work with and will be crumbly. 
• Always ask your dog's vet before making any recipe to ensure it is safe for your dog since every dog is different just like humans. It is impossible to know if any recipe is appropriate for all dogs. 
• In general never feed more than 10% of your dogs daily allowance in treats.

Storage

These two ingredient dog treats last for about a week in the refrigerator and months in the freezer. We store these in an air tight container and check for any signs of mold before use because these have no preservatives. They will be more susceptible to temperature changes and humidity changes in the environment. I prefer to keep them in the freezer or fridge that way they are guaranteed to be ready for the next training session.

Today we are going to make Roxanne's Cheese Crack-hers for all your furry pups to enjoy! With any recipe, we like to give a little background about it's history or how it was invented. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can always skip to the recipe below.

Jackson’s job refers to my service dog, Jackson. Over the years I have featured dog treat recipes for dogs as a result, particularly for Raymond because he has food allergies. This started because most commercial dog snacks usually have at least one ingredient that he can’t eat.  Plus many are often loaded with so many unwelcome ingredients such as excessive preservatives or sugar. Sugar in moderation is never a bad thing but sugar can make some dogs anxious, hyper and too much will cause them to put on excess weight. Plus, sugar often leads to tummy troubles as it's not well digested by many dogs out there.

Recently, we added to our crew and got a new pup named Roxanne. She’s a very happy and healthy little girl. However, Roxanne is a little bit like Raymond. She cannot eat a lot of treats because some of the ingredients don’t work well for her tummy.  This could because she’s a puppy and she may outgrow it. In the meantime, shouldn’t she be allowed to have treats?  Since she is in numerous training classes, finding a treat that works for her has been a challenge.  Some have too much sugar, others too much fat, this one too much protein.  You get the picture. 

One day, her older sister Maggie knocked down a container of Cheez-It® crackers. They both happily devoured quite a few before we could get them swept up.  In fact, Maggie’s emergency recall is Cheez-It® because she’s so obsessed with them. She gets one or two on occasion as a special treat as they aren’t ideal for dogs. Maggie had found the container I left on my desk and knocked it down to help herself. Roxanne decided to join in.   

Both girls had a little party snatching the crackers off the carpet.  Fortunately for us, it didn’t make Roxanne sick, so lo and behold a new treat was in the process!  Unfortunately, Cheez-its do have sodium and paprika.  Both which can be bad for dogs.  Thankfully, the small amount they ingested were not enough to make them ill. The vet said they would be okay, but it’s not a good idea to make a habit out of it as some of the ingredients aren't so good for dogs.  Whew!  

That is when I decided to use Raymond’s Peanut Butter Dog Treats and modify them.  Since I like to limit ingredients so Ray can enjoy them, I decided to make them as simple as possible.  Let’s go over that now.  

Step-by-Step Instructions 

Below you will see how easy it is to make these cheese crack-hers.  You will need to use rice flour, oil, cheese and water.  That’s it.  Sounds easy, doesn’t it? It really is as you’ll see below.

Step 1: Gather your Ingredients

As with any good recipe, it’s always a good idea to get your ingredients ready before starting.  It’s always surprising when I go to make something and find out I’m out of a key ingredient.

For this recipe, you only need four ingredients, cheese, rice flour, oil and water.  If you do not have access to rice flour, you can use any type of flour that is suitable for dogs. Just be sure that your dog can easily ingest the type of flour that you pick.  Whenever in doubt, always ask your veterinarian before making any type of recipe for dogs. In fact, I always run recipes through my veterinarian before I feed them to my dogs.

Step 2:  Shred the Cheese

The next thing you want to do is shred your cheese. I prefer to use block cheese. If you bought shredded cheese, read the ingredients on the the back of the package. Some ingredients they add may not be ideal for your dog. With pre-shredded cheese, you may find yourself having to add more water to get the dough to bind together. This is perfectly OK. They will still taste great to your dog.

As far as what type of cheese you can use again it’s any type of cheese that your dog likes. I’m using extra sharp cheddar cheese because she really enjoys it.

Step 3:  Combine Cheese and Flour

Using the tips of your fingers, work the flour and cheese together, so the cheese starts to form crumbles.   This step may take you a good five minutes. The more you crumble the cheese the more even the cheese will be in the crackers. 

If you have a blender or a food processor, you can put the cheese and half the flour into the container and pulse until it is well blended.  If you don’t have a blender or a food processor, don’t worry we show you the old-fashioned way.

Step 4:  Add the Oil and the Water to Form a Dough

Next, you want to add in a dog friendly oil such as melted coconut oil, salmon oil or olive oil. Stir this thoroughly into the flour and cheese mixture until it’s well combined.

Remember how I said you could use a variety of cheese and even different types flour as long as it was safe for your dog? Because of these customizable ingredients the amount of water will vary slightly. I will give you what I ended up using and then you can adjust up or down from that.  

Start adding in water gradually.  Add half of the water and mix, trying to make a dough. I found using your hands really lets you feel how much water to add.   You want the dough to be smooth not dry or sticky.  By gradually adding the water and stirring with your hands, you will feel the transformation.

If you have a food processor or blender, just pulse the mixture, gradually adding water until a dough forms.  

Step 5: Shape the Dough

I found that a piece of parchment paper works really well for this. I like to press the dough down onto the parchment paper until it’s about 1/8 inch or a little over 3mm in thickness.

Roxanne was already sniffing around seeing what was going on in the kitchen.

Once the dough is rolled out, cut them into small squares using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. I like to make them very small about a quarter of an inch to half an inch or 6 - 13 mm. This way you can give them a lot more for fewer calories. Your dogs like quantity and don’t really care about the size. When making training treats, our dogs love getting several small treats as opposed to one large one. Don’t worry if your squares aren’t perfect and they look a bit of a mess like mine do. The dogs will just appreciate that you are making them a snack.  

Step 6: Bake the Dough

Once they are ready, you bake around 25 to 40 minutes or until they are the desired crispness. Be sure to use oven mitts to handle hot pans! If you bake them at the lower end, they will be a little bit chewier. If you bake them on the longer end, they will be crisp and will keep a little bit longer. You want to bake them until they are golden brown and not burnt.  Keep an eye on it as every oven is different. Congratulations! You just made dog cheese crack-hers! Side note: It is very difficult to remember to type cheese crack-hers and not cheese crackers. Why did I insist on such a cutesy name?

Substitutions and Tips

Here are some common substitutions and tips for making Roxanne's cheese crack-hers.

• Roll the dough out onto a floured surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Bake 15 - 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
• Instead of white rice flour, you can use brown rice flour, wheat flour, or even corn flour. Corn flour will be the most difficult to work with and will be crumbly. 
• Use any type of cheese that is safe for dogs to eat. The color of the crackers will be dependent on the type of cheese you use.  
• You can omit the oil altogether.  It just helps with crispness.
• Always ask your vet before making any recipe to ensure it is safe for your dog since every dog is different just like humans. It is impossible to know if any recipe is appropriate for all dogs for instance, if your dog has pancreatitis, this may not be a suitable snack. 
• In general, never feed more than 10% of your dogs daily allowance in treats. Going beyond this amount could lead to your dog not getting the appropriate nutrition levels it needs and could lead long-term health consequences.
• Take lots of fun pictures sharing your treats with your beloved pets. They are only with us a short time. Enjoy the happy memories. Here is Maggie teaching little Roxanne how to counter surf! Cheeky little girls.

Storage

Let's get the disclaimer out of the way. Pumpkin dog treats are a great snack for your dog, but should be fed in moderation and only if your dog can handle the ingredients. When unsure, it is always wise to consult with your veterinarian before feeding new foods to prevent issues such an upset stomach or an allergic reaction. Just like people, dogs can have dietary restrictions due to underlying health conditions. For instance, our eldest dog Raymond is allergic to many grains so we use rice flour instead of wheat or corn.

This pumpkin dog treat recipe is as easy as 1, 2, 3. In fact, only 3 ingredients go into making them. Pumpkin, egg and rice flour. Can you substitute the rice flour for regular white flour? Absolutely if your dog can digest it! You can also use corn, oats, whole wheat or barley. Just be sure it's appropriate for your particular pooch!

Now, let's get started with this simple pumpkin dog biscuit recipe. We do recommend storing leftovers in fridge or the freezer due to the high moisture content. If you choose to leave them on the counter, check them prior to feeding for mold. Foods made with a lot of moisture such as pumpkin and no preservatives do not last long at room temperatures.

These banana dog treats are low in calories, fat, protein and sugar. They don't add a lot of calories to your dog's daily diet so they are a great addition for the occasional treat. Our three dogs share one snack and would be happy to eat all of them in one go. Do you have to use rice flour for these dog treats? Absolutely not. Wheat flour works perfectly fine, and in some cases so does corn meal. Another great flour is ground up oats. We have always used rice flour because Raymond has food allergies.

This is a great opening for the disclaimer: all dogs are different and it's wise to consult with a veterinarian when adding new foods to your dog's diet, including treats. Every dog is different and some have dietary restrictions due to underlying health conditions. But as far as dog treats go, banana dog treats are a tasty and safe for the majority of dogs out there.

This is a very easy recipe. You will only need a few ingredients and can make the horse treats recipe in the microwave! We will also give you a few substitutions along the way. Oats, molasses, peppermints and water are all the ingredients required. You will also need a blender. If you do not have peppermints, you can substitute this ingredient for white sugar and peppermint extract.

In a blender, pulse peppermints until you get a fine powder. Set aside. If you do not have oat flour, place 1 1/2 cups uncooked oats into the blender and pulse until it forms a powder. Three cups of oats makes approximately one cup of oat flour.

The reason we are using oats and not wheat flour in this recipe is because of the warning labels now placed on flour packaging. It can contain trace amounts of dangerous bacteria if used raw, that can make your beloved horse sick. Oats are safe to eat raw unless the packaging states otherwise.

The great thing about this recipe is you can make these treats for donkeys, horses, and even your dog. If your pet isn't allergic to any of the ingredients and can have small amounts of sugar, they are suitable for any of your omnivore or herbivore pals.

Our dogs give these peanut butter dog treats two paws up!

These tasty dog biscuits only take 4 ingredients: brown rice flour, peanut butter, eggs and water. You can make a large batch like I do and freeze them or make a half batch. I found it is easier to just make them all at once. And I share them with family and friends with dogs.

One word of caution: do not use sugar-free peanut butter as some ingredients can be very dangerous for dogs. Luckily, they are clearly labeled and quite expensive so it is easy to avoid. Also, if your dog has ever suffered from any health problems or is elderly, make sure your vet says it's okay to use peanut butter. In fact, it's always wise to check with your veterinarian when trying new foods. I personally ran these ingredients by my dogs' vet to be certain they were safe for them. I will include basic nutrition information and a full list of ingredients for you to be able to share with them below in the recipe. Safety first when it comes to your beloved four-legged family members!

Seven years ago, we adopted Raymond. Soon, we discovered he had a lot of quirks. For instance, he won't walk in puddles, insists on being on the left side at all times of you, spins in circles to self soothe and bites his foot for hours. In addition, he came home with severe skin issues. Despite a bath and flea treatment, he didn't improve. Several vet trips later, we learned he was allergic to pretty much all the common dog food and treats out there. I did a lot of searching for allergen-free dog biscuits. No milkbones for you Raymond, sorry.

So if you are like us, perhaps you have found this treat recipe for your pup with allergic reactions. Search no further! I developed this 3 ingredient dog biscuits recipe after years of looking. If your dog likes pumpkin, they'll love these snacks. Now, please don't overfeed your dog as they beg for the whole tray. We want healthy dogs, not dogs the shape of a pumpkin.

One word of caution: our dog has severe allergies but we have found that rice, pumpkin and egg are all safe ingredients for him. If your dog is allergic to any of these ingredients, please don't feed these to your pup. However, 3 Ingredient Dog Biscuits are much less likely to have issues due to the avoidance of common allergen causing foods.

If your dog likes this recipe, try out our other allergy and health friendly recipe for peanut butter flavored dog treats. Maggie will be assisting us today making the dog biscuits.
