5 Easy & Delicious Homemade Dog Treat Recipes for Christmas
Now before you roll up your sleeves and turn on the Christmas carols, keep these few quick tips in mind:
- Hello portion control! Keep the spoiling to a healthy level by making sure your treats are cut to the right size for dogs. A dog cookie cutter (like this handy dog cookie cutter set) is a great way to keep all your Christmas treats all equal size too.
- If you’re making these dog treat recipes for Christmas gifts, an easy and thoughtful way to decorate them is with our ‘Happy Howlidays’ DIY dog treat gift tags. They’re free to download and print!
- Another cute idea is to print out the recipes when gifting them to fellow dog mums and pet parents, so they can try them too.
Homemade dog treats like the ones below are a fun and festive way to spoil your pup at Christmas.
We hope you and your pup love them!
1. PB & Ginger Snaps
Peanut butter dog treats are hands-down every pup’s favourite. Add a little ginger to the mix and voilà – you have a festive twist on a yummy doggie classic.

Is their a recipe for a softer treat? My niece has an elderly dog that prefers a softer treat rather than a harder one.
