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.
Ingredients
- 2 mugs of potato flour (240g)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- Water to mix
Flavouring
We’re using apple and cheese but you can use whatever your dog likes e.g. chopped liver, pre cooked mince, fruit etc.
Method
Add 2 mugs of potato flour into a bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of honey!
Mix into a crumble like mixture!
We’re adding a handful of grated cheese…
And a grated apple (no seeds)
Add some water and make into dough!
Roll out like a thin sausage and slice!
Place on baking tray and put in oven at 180°C. Cooking times vary for ingredients and size of biscuits but these biscuits will cook for 30 mins.
30 minutes later they’re done! Look great!

Hi Jamie
What weight does a mug of flour equate too
Thanks for all the great recipes, have tried the liver cake and tuna loaf so far. What would you recommend for a training treat for a pooch who loves his food but needs to lose some weight!
I’d use dried liver dog treats cut into small pieces :https://www.bdws.co.uk/2011/05/08/homemade-liver-treat-recipe/
Brilliant healthy recipes thank you so much 🙂
Thanks Angharad! 🙂
Hi Jamie, could you give me a weight measurement for the flour not sure what size mugs you mean, thanks
Hey Jamie,
I’m a two year old GSD, I’ve had a ruff start and was in a shelter for a bit…nuff said … anyway I got a new home a few weeks back and my new owner Bernice has just made me some of these scrummy treats and if they’re half as good as the Banana Bombs she made last week … Well I’m doing somersaults already!
It’s great that you think so much of us four-legged friends to come up with these great recipes. Cheers and Happy New Year from Cornwall 😉
Thanks Brady, I’m glad you like the Banana bombs and if you like them then you will love the gluten free dog treats. You’re very lucky to have such a caring owner but make sure you let her know about the sardine oatcakes and gingerbread men as they are a dog favourite!

Oohh yesh! They sound scrummy! The gluten free treats Bernice made me are apple and kidney and I have to say even though my favourite right now is cheese (heaven) they’re no disappointment. I’m going to be an extra good boy to make sure I get tons of these ;0)
Keep up the great work! I’ll spread the word down here in deepest darkest Cornwall… though not tooo loudly you understand :0))
This is great homemade dog food recipe. It is also easy to make. 1 hour for this delicious food. Plus it is gluten free. I always prepare homemade to my little Atom. Thank you for this delicious recipe.
How long do the treats last, will they go off?
Hi Claire. Freeze after they have cooled down and they will last months and months!
Thanks
These are great – and very easy to make! Another good one, Jamie. Lots of ideas for the dog training class’s Christmas treats!
Do you think we could replace the potato flour with spelt, soya or rice flour? I only ask because I have these in my store cupboard!
soya and rice fine…spelt is not totally gluten free…just low in gluten
