Beetroot dog biscuit recipe
Beetroot is a good source of vitamin C, fibre, folate, manganese, and potassium, and sold everywhere. This biscuit recipe makes a nice hard crunchy dog treat using precooked beetroot I bought on sale in my local Co-op. Add some oats, flour, a beaten egg, and just for fun some golden breadcrumbs and you have a purplish tasty dog treat. I’m using these biscuit cutters if you are interested but any will do.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cooked beetroots
- 2 Eggs
- 280g (10z) rolled oats
- 140g (5oz) plain flour
- 60g (2oz) golden breadcrumbs
- 100ml (4 fl oz) of meat stock (low salt if using cubes)
METHOD
1. Add 60g (2oz) of breadcrumbs to a mixing bowl.
2. And 280g (10oz) of rolled oats and 140g (5oz) of plain flour.
3. Add a beaten egg.
4. Blend 3 precooked beetroots.
5. Add beetroot to bowl.
6. Give it a good mix.
7. Add just a little at a time, add enough stock to turn ingredients into a pastry. 100ml should be more than enough.
8. Roll into a ball and leave for 10 minutes.
9. Roll to a half-inch thick and cut out shapes.
10. Place on a baking tray and cook at 150c (Gas mark 2) for around 1hr 30 mins or until rock hard.
11. 90 mins later and they are cooked! Look good!
12. Give one to a lucky dog!
Thanks, these are great! I was wondering if freezing raw chicken or raw salmon (I heard there is a bacteria in it that is deadly to dogs) is not dangerous?
I tried this recipe with 800grams of liver. Took ages longer to dry (fair buff there was more of it).
BUT it totally crumbles t after it’s been in my treat bag for 5 minutes, making it useless.
Did I do something wrong?
I have always been told by vets that garlic should never be given to dogs. So is there something better to substitute?
just dont add it if you dont want it, doesnt need a substitute.
Oh, wow, this is an amazing article!
My dog loves dried fruit – banana, apple, and a bit of apricot, pineapple – and is obsessed with dried sweet potato, but they are all becoming very expensive in the UK. Do you have recommendations for how long to dehydrate these non-meat products?
My dog really loves dried banana that is still a bit chewy. Only one place sells it and it is £4.20 or so for 100g. I’ve never tried dehydrating anything but would it be easy to get the banana to that chewy stage rather than becoming the hard, brittle, banana chip that is usually what goes for dried banana?
Any tips for dehydrating sweet potato?
I only have the dehydration function on an air fryer, and an air fryer oven: do you have any tips on ensuring fruit and veg doesn’t stick to the tray (or is this not an issue with dehydration?).
Do you recommend specific cuts of beef? I don’t eat beef myself so I’m clueless on what the different ones are.
Thanks for the ideas. Everything is getting ludicrously expensive and I would rather work out how to give my pup her favourites with dehydrating fruit, veg, and meat, than having to cut back. I came here looking for a biltong recipe and found so many other ideas!
