Green Bean and Chicken Crunchies for Dogs

These crunchy homemade treats combine lean chicken and fiber-rich green beans for a high-protein, low-fat snack dogs will love. Baked to a satisfying crisp, they’re ideal for daily rewards or training.

Ingredients (Makes about 20–24 small crunchies):
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast (plain, skinless)

3/4 cup green beans (steamed or boiled, finely chopped)

1 egg

2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil

1 1/2 to 2 cups oat flour (or ground rolled oats)

Water as needed (1–2 tbsp if dough is dry)

Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped green beans, egg, and oil. Mix thoroughly.
Add oat flour gradually until a firm, moldable dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

3. Shape the Treats:
Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch) or press into cookie shapes. For extra crunch, flatten slightly.

4. Bake:
Place the treats on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm. For extra crunchiness, turn off the oven and let the treats cool inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes.

5. Cool and Store:
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Storage:
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Refrigerate for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Homemade Pumpkin & Oatmeal Dog Snack Sticks

These chewy, wholesome snack sticks are perfect for dogs who love a satisfying bite. Made with just a few natural ingredients, they’re easy to bake and store for convenient, healthy treating.

Ingredients (Makes about 10–14 sticks):
1 cup pumpkin puree (plain, unsweetened)

2 cups rolled oats (blended into oat flour or left whole for texture)

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional and in small amounts)

1–2 tbsp water (if needed for mixing)

Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, egg, oil, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until smooth.
Add oat flour (or rolled oats) gradually until a thick dough forms. If too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time.

3. Shape the Sticks:
Using your hands, form the dough into stick shapes about 3 to 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. You can also roll the dough out and cut into strips with a knife or pizza cutter.

4. Bake:
Place the sticks on the baking sheet and bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through. For crunchier sticks, bake up to 40 minutes or let cool in the oven with the heat off.

5. Cool Completely:
Allow the sticks to cool fully before serving. This helps them firm up and improves shelf life.

Storage:
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Feeding Guidelines:
Serve as a treat, not a meal replacement. Always supervise while your dog chews and adjust treat size based on your dog’s breed and chewing habits.
