If your dog loves carrots as much as mine, he will go crazy for these crispy Carrot Dog Biscuits! They are the perfect treat for your furry friend. And the best part: you’ll only need 5 ingredients to make them!
When I got Miso, I’ve let him try different veggies and fruits (after googling if they are safe for dogs, of course!) to find out what he likes. He went crazy over carrots. That was a pleasant surprise because carrots are one of the staple veggies for me. I like them, he likes them, we all like carrots. Perfect!
So after the peanut butter dog treats, I wanted to make cookies that are a bit crispier. That’s when these Carrot Dog Biscuits happened. They have the perfect size to put them into his kong bone toy.
You’ll only need 5 ingredients for these vegan Carrot Dog Biscuits:
whole wheat flour
oat flour
all-purpose flour
cinnamon powder
carrot purée (homemade by blending carrots with water)
You can replace one flour with another if you don’t have all of these at home.
Meet Miso
In February 2018, I finally adopted a dog (after years of wanting to have one)! I named him Miso and he was five months old when I got him. He’s the cutest dog ever.
He LOVES food and sleeps and he rather stays in than to go outside – I couldn’t have found a better friend! :D His favorite activities right now are playing Hide and Seek and catching tennis balls. If you want to see more of Miso – follow his Instagram account.
How to make Carrot Dog Biscuits
Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch – 1-2 cm. Otherwise, it will take longer to bake.
The recipe makes a huge batch! I’ve used a small flower cookie cutter (that came in a set of small cookie cutters), they are the ideal sizes for Miso. I was able to get about 130 cookies! (Can you imagine how much these dog cookies would cost in a store?!)
If you have a larger dog, you can use a larger cookie cutter. If you don’t want to cut out cookies, you can also use a pizza cutter to make doggie crackers (it’s a much faster alternative if you don’t have a lot of time at your hands).
I love that you can get that many cookies out of a batch! The cookies store really well (if you bake them all the way through and let them cool off completely before placing them in an airtight container).
You can spend A LOT OF $$$ for vegan dog treats in stores. Making them at home is inexpensive, fun, you have full control over the ingredients and of course, you can add the most important ingredient: love!
These crispy Carrot Dog Biscuits are the perfect treat for carrot-loving dogs! This recipe makes a huge batch of cookies! And the best part: you’ll only need 5 ingredients to make them!

A Homemade Longer Lasting Dog Chew for Teething Relief
Soak the towel in water or in a mix of water and salt-free bouillon. Wring out the towel thoroughly and twist it into a long sausage shape. Put it in the freezer until frozen. Give it to the puppy and let him chew!
If your dog is not a vegetable lover, juicing may be a fun way to add carrots to the diet. Carrot juice is extremely high in vitamin A, but the fiber in carrots is lost during juicing. To make sure your dog doesn't miss out on the healthy fiber, add some of the pulp back into the juice before adding it to their bowl.
Dogs can eat carrots either cooked or raw. Studies have suggested that cooking or feeding pureed carrots can lead to a better absorption of beta carotene, one of the key nutrients found in carrots. However, many experts recommend feeding chopped or peeled carrots to your pup as a crunchy snack.
Bleaching doesn't do anything to improve the quality of the flour for your dog, so if you're going to buy all purpose flour, definitely go for the unbleached kind. In general, we recommend staying away from all purpose flour for your dog.
Homemade dog treats sell for between $15 and $25. They should be priced based on how much it costs you to produce them including the ingredients, packaging, and other selling fees. There should be a minimum of 30% profit margin on homemade dog treats.
Refrigerator. Most dog treats will keep for several weeks in the fridge. In an airtight container in the fridge, this 'shelf-life' can be extended to a couple of months or even longer.
Cinnamon is safe for dogs when ingested in small amounts, and a dog that has inhaled a little powdered cinnamon shouldn't require veterinary care, says Dr. Renee Schmid, a senior veterinarian toxicologist at the Pet Poison Helpline. However, dogs who eat too much cinnamon can have serious health problems.
Yes, dogs can eat carrots! In fact, carrots are often included in both wet and dry commercial dog foods. What's more, dogs can eat raw carrots and often enjoy them as a treat, as they produce an extremely satisfying crunch! It's fine to feed dogs cooked carrots too.
Whether you use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar is up to you, lemon juice smells nicer around the home but apple cider vinegar can sometimes be more effective. The bitterness from either should deter your puppy or dog from wanting to chew anything that's been sprayed. 3.
Whole wheat flour: is packed with fiber, and protein, and is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin E, copper, iron, manganese, and selenium. You could alternatively substitute this with oat flour or another dog-safe flour.
Your pet needs protein (animal meat, seafood, dairy, or eggs), fat (from meat or oil) and carbohydrates (grains or vegetables). They also need calcium (from dairy or an ingredient such as egg shells), and essential fatty acids (from certain plant oils, egg yolks, oatmeal, and other foods).
For young puppies and senior dogs, puree boiled carrots and stir them into your dog's food for a boost of fiber and essential nutrients. Want to take your carrot game to the next level? Try making your own carrot dog snacks by mixing 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour with 2 eggs and a 4.25-ounce jar of carrot baby food.
You'll also want to grab your food processor or blender and a large mixing bowl and mixing spoon. I have always pureed my dog's veggies because I was taught that dogs cannot break down the cellulose in vegetables, and pureeing them breaks that layer down and makes them much easier to absorb.
Puree Raw. A vegetable puree is an easy way to prepare low glycemic, leafy greens for dogs. The blend can then be stored in containers for scoop and feed, or it can be portioned into frozen serving sizes or meal containers.
