    JUMP TO RECIPE

    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.

    Promote joint health and skin/coat health by making these healthy hemp seed biscuits for your dog! The recipe is super simple and calls for only 4 ingredients.

    I always recommend buying organic ingredients when you can. Read: Why Should You Buy Organic?

      I made these today! I used coconut flour instead of oat flour & pureed some apple's instead of unsweetened puree they seem a bit dry lol. whether or not thats because there for dogs lol.. I'll be baking a second batch with the right ingredients next time.

      Do you make any treats with tumeric?

      My dog is grain-free and very fussy. He loves them! This is the second batch I've made and they turn out great. I like them too. Hemp and coconut oil are very good for dogs and people. Also, I ground my oats in a blender to make oat flour. It's a very quick and easy recipe. My dog doesn't like peanut butter or pumpkin so these are nice alternative. I notice a difference that his coat is much softer and he itches less. Thank-you for the recipe. I'm starting to switch my dog over to raw lamb too and he's having fewer allergies and itches. I'm much happier when he's enjoying a healthy diet that he loves in contrast to store bought treats and food, I'm saving a lot of money.

      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 🙂

        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.
