Human holiday treats can be harmful to pets, so make sure you have something tasty to offer them that is not only yummy but healthy as well. These Homemade Parmesan & Spinach Dog Treats are filled with the flavors dogs love and a satisfying crunch that is great for their teeth- no additives, fillers, artificial colors or flavor. Make a batch of these healthy homemade dog treats for your furry friend and one to share with friends and family pets. This is a fun recipe for the kids to get involved with too.
Ingredients:
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup frozen pureed spinach
1 cup beef or chicken broth-low sodium
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. parsley
1 egg, large
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
Recipe makes about 18-20 standard cookie cutter Christmas trees
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°
Line a cookie sheet with foil, parchment paper, or a silpat mat.
Thaw spinach completely.
You can use spinach as is and recipe will be just fine, I chose to further puree it in my chopper to make it a finer texture.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed.
Flip dough out onto a well floured surface and knead for 1 minute.
Roll out to ¼ “ thickness and cut into desired shapes.
Bake for 11-14 minutes until golden brown- I pull mine out at about 12 minutes because my pups prefer a slightly softer texture.
Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer.

I would love to make this for my dogs.
I have never tried to make my own Treats for my Dog, and this sounds wonderful! I will have to try this.
Thanks for the Post and the Recipe!
Thank you so very much for this recipe. I have a 15 year old rescued “puppy” that we adore. I have opted to put her on a no corn, soy, or pork diet. This puts a limit on what kinds of “cookies” I can buy for her. This recipe looks like one she would enjoy. Thanks so much!
These look wonderful! I’m going to have to make these for my pooches!
I know my Sorcha would love these! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing so many great dog treat recipes! They all seem so healthy and much more economical than what is available in stores.
Can’t wait to try these for my cute pup! She needs more veggies so this will be great!
These sound like great dog treats. Thank you so much for sharing
Every dog would love this
This sounds like something Sorcha would love and thank you for sharing your recipe with us!
I have a dog-friendly workplace and my fellow co-workers are always feeding the dogs the bad for them out of the box treats… I should make a batch of these instead. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this. I have never seen doggie recipes before. This is brilliant and I am going to bookmark your recipe for future use. Good on ya!
My dog would like these
What a wonderful recipe!!!! I’d love to make these for my sister’s dog, a very active senior dog!
I’m always looking for new treats to make for my dogs.
Our pup will enjoy these!
This sounds like a treat pups would love. Thanks for the recipe!
I usually make Oscar some peanutbutter and banana treats. I might have to try this one out for something different. Of course he eats all things so fast that I don’t know if he’d even know the difference. lol
I will have to try these out on Sorcha.
I think that my dog would love these!
This sounds like a really good treat. Thank you for the information and recipe.
Nice recipe. Interesting combination of spinach & parmesan cheese.
This recipe sounds great!
