Today we’re sharing a delicious and super simple homemade carrot dog treats recipe! This one is perfect for dogs with allergies to most common meats, as it’s completely vegetarian. However, because of the flour, it’s not exactly a hypoallergenic treat. You could swap that out and use something like coconut flour or almond meal instead if your dog can’t tolerate wheat.
The thing I love about this recipe is that it uses ingredients most of us keep on hand, so you don’t have to run to the store to buy a ton of pricey things. Of all the items on the ingredients list, I think the only thing I don’t currently have in my house is the bran. Make sure you check out the video tutorial and the printable recipe card below the instructions! Plus keep reading for a few more of my favorite homemade dog treat ideas!

- Knead your dough for about a minute.

- Bake for about 20-30 minutes, just until the treats turn brown and get slightly hard. You don’t want them overdone because they will harden up a bit more as they cool.
- Let cool completely, then store in an airtight container.
