MAKE IN JUST 10 MINUTES
A super-fast, 10-minute tuna loaf your dog will love. This simple, protein-packed treat is perfect for training or a quick, healthy snack.
This simple and delicious tuna loaf recipe was kindly given to me by Alison, the owner of Brodie and Harris! It's the speediest of all my homemade dog treat recipes, ready from start to finish in just 10 minutes—perfect for when you need a quick, healthy snack.
We'll be using a standard 1.1L food storage container (found in any supermarket) to shape the loaf, but if you don't have one, a large bowl covered with a plate works just as well. It's that easy!
Your dog will love these protein-packed treats, and you'll love how simple they are to make.
These treats are great for training or as an everyday reward, and they freeze beautifully for later.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Microwavable Container
Ingredients
- 2 Tins of tuna in oil or water
- 2 Eggs
- 160 g Flour
Instructions
- Add 2 tins of tuna in oil (use the oil/water).
- Add 2 eggs
- Add 160g (5½ oz) of flour
- Mix everything to form a thick paste-like consistency.
- Spread into a microwave-safe container. This is a typical 1.1L size available at every supermarket.
- Lay the lid slightly ajar on top and cook for 4 minutes, rest for 1 minute, then cook for another minute.
- It's very hot once cooked, so tap out of the container and leave to cool.
- Once cooled, slice up
- And put the treats in a container.
- Have a taste test with the dog, fridge what you will use in a few days and freeze the rest.
I don’t own a microwave….how long would you bake it for in the oven?
Hi, made my first batch with gluten free flour adding extra water. Is it supposed to be rubbery ?
It’s prob the gluten-free flour doing that. I’ve never made it with that so I dont have first-hand experience.
Did the dog like it?
Hi thank you for the tuna loaf recipe, would a gluten free flour produce the same type of of loaf? I have a dog with Mega oesophagus and can only tolerate moist treats and another dog on a gluten free diet.
Thank you in advance for your help ????

yeah but I think with gluten-free you may need a little more water in the mix, you’ll just have to try it.
Thank you ???? sorry for the reply delay I have only just seen this. The email I gave had a typo cprichard@sky.com is the right one ????
can this be dehydrated to store?
Yeah, I guess so. Will prob make a very tasty crunchy treat.
Yeah, just a small teaspoon
My gang of 8 go mad for these, could you tell me how long they can be safely stored in the fridge in an air tight container please, need to batch cook as I go through loads at each treat sitting. Thanks
storage instructions now on post
Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in exchangig links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My website covers a lot of the saqme topics as your and I believe we ccould greatly benefit from each other.
If you’re interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!
Since I lacked a bit of flour, I used half and reduced everything to half except for the clove I used, it was a bit small so I think it’s fine ^_^ They’re still cooking and I hope my 5 weeks would love it. He already loves tuna so this has to be something he should like <3
Hi,
Can this be made in a loaf tin so it comes out more like a cake? I’d like to make it for my dog’s next birthday. Thanks.
I’m sure you can. I’ve never done it. Look at the liver cake recipe for a better idea how to do it, since its pretty much the same thing but using liver.
