Hemp Seed Dog Biscuits
Feed your pups these healthy hemp seed dog biscuits to promote joint and skin health and boost their immunity. They are picky-dog approved!
I’m not gonna lie – I don’t have a good track record with making dog biscuits. They are either too crumbly, too soft, or my dog won’t touch them.
Wait, wait…before you think “Omg, then why would I trust her?!” I promise, I hit the mark here. My dogs cannot get enough of these hemp seed dog biscuits!
The recipe calls for whole, nutritious ingredients. And the end product obviously tastes delicious. Just ask my sweet black lab/mutt/rescue baby, Lexi.
It takes a lot to impress this picky girl
Healthy Dog Treat Recipe = MUST
I always feed my family and my dogs with their health in mind and treats are no exception – but I want them to taste good, too! These biscuits are made with homemade oat flour, which is whole and nutritious, and also has good flavor.
For another flavor boost, I used (organic, unsweetened) applesauce. It has three roles: 1. Yum. 2. Healthy for dogs. 3. Binds everything together.
Coconut oil also adds flavor, and is excellent for gut and skin health.
The star ingredients in these treats are the hemp seeds, though! Hemp seeds are so, so good for dogs. The properties in hemp seeds can help with inflammation issues, itchy and irritated skin, and they can also boost the immune system.

Thanks so much for this recipe. My very allergic German Shepherd was recently tested for food sensitivities and came back she should avoid 23 of the 24 items tested. I have searched and searched for a limited ingredient recipe that might work. I took this one and switched garbanzo flour for the oat flour and it worked great. She is eating them so that is great

I added extra Apple sauce and I don’t have oat flour so I used gluten free flour. My Shepherd loved it. I also don’t have coconut oil so I used 1/2 hemp oil and 1/2 vegetable oil.

Great! Did add peanut butter to the recipe as I know my boy loves more rich foods and loves his peanut butter!
And he loves them!
Will be sharing with all my friends, glad to see other people are using hemp for their pets 🙂

Dog hates them, spits them out. Don’t know why???

Sorry to hear that! If your pup usually eats more rich food or treats, these might taste too “plain”. Both of my dogs love hemp seeds so they go crazy over these.

This is a very nice recipe. However, it is in error to label this recipe as being grain free! Oats ARE a grain.

Unfortunately, I can’t change the error made on one of the pin images for this post. The post itself doesn’t state that these are grain-free.
