Blueberry Dog Treats Recipe Ingredients
The entire list of ingredients and the step-by-step directions are in the printable recipe card, at the bottom of this post. First, I want to share some additional information about the ingredients I used in the best homemade dog treats you’ll ever make.
Here’s a list of what you need. If you want to make organic dog treats, make sure you buy all organic ingredients.
- Dried blueberries – use unsweetened dried blueberries or dried blueberries sweetened with apple juice. Avoid ones with added sugar.
- Quick-cooking oats – If you don’t have quick-cooking oats, just use a food processor to chop up some old-fashioned or steel-cut oats.
- All-purpose flour – Want to make these treats gluten-free? Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour instead.
- Eggs – to bind the dough.
- Peanut butter – If your pet has a peanut allergy, use a different type of nut butter or sunflower butter instead. Always use nut butter with no sugar added.
- Water – for adding moisture to the dough.

Ingredient Notes
When you make this easy dog treats recipe, here are a few more notes to keep in mind.
Fresh or frozen blueberries may be substituted for dehydrated. They will cause your dough to turn blue and be stickier. You may need to add less water to the dough.
Freeze-dried blueberries may also be substituted for dried/dehydrated. They tend to be lighter and airier so they may crumble when added to the dough. You may need to add more water to the dough.
Difference Between Dried and Dehydrated Blueberries
You can use either dried or dehydrated blueberries in this recipe.
Dried and dehydrated blueberries are essentially the same thing. They have been through a process to remove water.
Air dried and dehydrated blueberries are chewy, dense, and look like small raisins. It takes a long soak in warm water to rehydrate them.
Freeze-dried blueberries are airy and lighter. They rehydrate faster and retain their original shape.
Serving Size
How many homemade dog treats should you give your dog at once? That depends on what else they ate that day.
Dogs shouldn’t overeat too many carbs – even healthy ones from flour and blueberries. For this reason, I suggest only giving your pup one treat per day.

Equipment Needed
You probably have most of the kitchen items you need to make these dog treats. You can use any regular cookie cutters but the ones shaped like dog bones give these treats a fun look.
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk or Hand Mixer
- Mixing Spoon
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie Cutters for Dog Treats
- Nonstick Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat (if using an aluminum baking sheet)

How to Store Baked Blueberry Dog Treats
Store the baked dog treats in an airtight container. A dog treat jar is a good idea so they are not mistaken for human treats. Here are some cute ones on Amazon:

Can humans eat these blueberry dog treats?
They sure can! Everything in the crunchy dog treats is safe for human consumption. Although people probably won’t like them since they are not sweet. I suggest making Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies for people.

Can you use fresh blueberries?
Yes, but note that fresh or frozen blueberries will cause your dough to turn blue and be stickier. You may need to use less water in the dough.
Thank you
I made these yesterday. Spoiler alert: My dogs freaking loved them. Annoyingly loved them to the point they tried to get them out of my pocket between tricks.
I did make some changes, but only out of convenience. (I really hate it when someone says “Oh this is recipe is perfect but I made 17 changes! 🙂 I used fresh blueberries because that is what I had. Author is correct in that it very much changes water ratio. I would mash the blueberries in the oats and flour before adding water. This might help you to know how much water to add. I did not do this, I followed the recipe and added after mixing dough with only 1/4 cup water. I ended up adding quite a bit more flour by putting it on my work space then worked the mix kind of like you would bread. It was still sticky at that point, but manageable! I have one puppy and one 10 pound Italian greyhound, so I used a pizza cutter. to make smaller treats. After I rolled out the dough (flouring the rolling pin generously…still sticky) I used a pizza cutter to cut out little squares then transferred them onto a parchment and onto a cookie sheet and into the oven. Cook them til they are CRISP so they will store better. I think I cooked even the little pieces at least 15-18 minutes. They were not pretty like the author’s but they are the perfect sizes for my fur littles. And omigoodness my dogs went CRAZY! Our iggy is picky and she ate them like crazy. Our boykin puppy is TOTALLY food motivated and it’s amazing how well she listened when she knew I had the treats. Also, they are just so much cleaner than what you’d buy at the store. Kibble really skeeves me out and I try not to touch it…but I didn’t hesitate to put these treats in my pocket when I went to the park to work on training with the boykin puppy. The dogs were literally absolutely obsessed with these treats. I knew where the ingredients came from, so they are safe. TOTAL win! 100% will make again and already passed the recipe on to friends. I hope they last- that’s my one unknown. They are sealed in an airtight container.
I’m so glad your dogs love the treats. And thanks for the great tips on making them with fresh blueberries.
Almost a week in an airtight clear canister. Still crispy, no mold, and dogs still going bananas for them. I got some cute SMALL cut outs from Amazon. I had to get the vegetable cutters because all the dog biscuit ones were too big. Can’t wait to make again!
Can human can eat the dogs blue berry treat?
Yes, everything is safe for human consumption.
How about putting them in fridge or freezing them?
Yes, you can store them in the refrigerator. You can freeze them for up to 3 months.
if you freeze them leave them out after defrost
put mine in airtight container and the had mold after 3days
You might want to only take a few out of the freezer at a time, what you’ll need for a day or two.
