Treats for sensitive dogs
Our canine dietitian Bev Cobley has given us a new biscuit to try. When I made this recipe the first time I took ALL the biscuits with me while I did my dog walking and the dogs just loved them! By the end of the day, I had none left! Thumbs up from the dogs! This gluten free dog treat recipe is dead easy to make and from start to finish it can be done within an hour with little mess and the great thing is you can add your dog's favourite food to flavour it! Just note that potato flour can be quite hard to source from your local supermarket but most health shops sell it and it's easy to buy online.

Loving your recipes. Could they be made in a food dehydrator. I researched dog treats and found hardly any healthy for my dog. Those that were made healthy were expensive. I have two rescue dogs and I love them and would like to see them stay healthy. Thanks for the recipes. Please include me on your newsletter
I make these biscuits regularly for my sensitive tummy Tibetan Terriers. Your recipe has been a godsend for us! Here are my tips –
I use ‘Free From’ plain flour and usually Castle McLellan Chicken Liver pate to flavour, as also has no wheat. They love them! Have also flavoured with peanut butter, cheese, tuna.
If the dough is too crumbly when cutting just add a wee bit more water. Quicker to slice biscuits from the sausage shaped rolled dough, but cuter if you have a cookie cutter ????
I bake in middle of oven, gas mark 4 and turn the biscuits over after 20 mins. Total bake time 30 mins. Switch oven off snd leave to cool in oven (if your TT lets you!)
I’ve also made my own liver pâté with chicken livers and coconut cream to flavour these biscuits. They really loved them!! ????????
Excellent, thanks for the comment and great photo, Debbi.
Hi, I tried to make these but it took about 50 mins. in the oven until their color became a little brown, but then they were too hard for my puppy to chew… Should I take them out in about 30 mins. even if they are still pale?
They are pretty pale cause of the potato flour so try just 30 mins
Just came along your recipe after looking for a meat free treat for my dog , recently adopted and having issues with itchy/sore skin vet recommended that we try gluten ,dairy and meat free so I am trying these as it’s a strict fish based diet so I’m trying tuna hope they go gone well as they are in the oven as I’m typing this ????????
ohh exciting, good luck and I hope archie likes the treats.
Very wise. Thanks for this.
