Homemade guidance, not veterinary advice

Core the apple and remove all seeds, since apple seeds aren't appropriate for dogs; only the plain flesh is used here. This recipe avoids onion, garlic, and other common pet-toxic foods, but treats should still be given in moderation. This is general guidance, not veterinary advice.

Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Mix the grated apple, oat flour, rolled oats, egg, and water into a stiff dough.

  3. 3

    Roll the dough thin and cut into very small, pea-sized pieces for training.

  4. 4

    Bake for 12–15 minutes until firm and dry. Cool completely before using.

Nutrition character

Tiny, firm baked treats of grated apple and oats — low-calorie by design so a dog can earn many during a training session.

Serving guide

Because they're tiny, several during a training session is fine for most dogs — still count them toward the day's treats, which are best kept to a small share of total food.

Benefits

  • Very small size for repeated training rewards
  • Made from simple whole-food ingredients
  • Firm texture that's easy to carry in a pocket
  • No added sugar or seasoning

Storage

Keeps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for up to 2 months.

Suitable for

Dogs of any age or size, especially as small rewards during training.

Common questions

Can dogs eat apple?

Plain apple flesh, with the core and seeds removed, is a common dog treat ingredient and many dogs enjoy it; the seeds and core should always be discarded.

Why make the treats so small?

Tiny treats let you reward a dog many times during training without overfeeding, since they add up quickly over a session.

How long do they keep?

They keep about a week at room temperature, longer refrigerated, and up to 2 months frozen, so you can batch a big pouch for training.
