A<\/span>re you looking for a last-minute gift idea for a dog or dog owner?<\/strong> Homemade\u00a0dog treats for Christmas<\/strong> are a unique way to show that you care while providing a handmade gift that both dog and owner are sure to love.<\/p>\n

Homemade dog treats also make for a very thoughtful and inexpensive present<\/a> for the dog or dog owner on your list. They're simple to make, and you can cater them to any dog's nutritional needs.<\/p>\n

Instead of purchasing a generic gift, homemade treats<\/a> are something that you\u2019re making all on your own. You\u2019re creating something from scratch \u2013 taking your time and energy to make a gift that you know the recipient will appreciate.<\/p>\n

If you are planning to give these (or any) treats to a dog that is not yours, be sure that you check with the owner to make sure the dog doesn\u2019t have any food allergies. If you want the gift to be a surprise, simply attach a note with the list of ingredients to the treats so the owner can check for themselves.<\/p>\n

Dog Treats for Christmas Recipe<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Dog<\/p>\n

Personally, I like to make some of these treats, put them in cute\u00a0Christmas tins<\/a>, and bring them to holiday parties where I know the hosts are dog owners.<\/p>\n

You should keep the treats small so they can be used for any size dog. I like to use a fun mini dog cookie cutter<\/a> to consistently get equal treat sizes and shapes.<\/p>\n

I will also include a copy of the recipe with these treats. This is not only so the owners I'm gifting this to can make them by themselves later but also so they can see all the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>

I use whole wheat flour in my recipe, but if your dog has allergies you could use coconut flour, almond flour, chickpea flour or quinoa flour instead.<\/p>\n

You could also substitute canned pumpkin or mashed banana for the applesauce.<\/p>\n

You may think raw honey<\/a> has too much sugar, but the small amount in this recipe won't be a problem for your dog. It also offers numerous health benefits that are worth the small amount of added sugar.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
