RECIPE: Dehydrated Vegetarian Dog Treats

Today we have a special guest recipe from Excalibur Food Dehydrators – America’s top dehydrator manufactured since 1973. I know that many of you know that we’ve often written about our dehydrator (and you’ll find our dehydrator recipes in our The Healthy Hound Cookbook and My Dog Says I’m a Great Cook!)

Most of our dehydrator recipes are for meat-based training treats, but today we’re featuring a vegetarian dog treat!

You can substitute just about any fruit or vegetable in this vegetarian dog treat recipe to add variety. This recipe uses an egg as a binding agent but if you want to make these treats vegan– just mix the dough longer and omit the egg.

Let’s Make a Dehydrated Vegetarian Dog Treat!

In a large bowl mix all ingredients and form into a ball. On a flour dusted cutting board, roll out the dough to about 1/4″ thick.

Cut with bone-shaped cookie cutter or any cutter shape your pet will like.
