Carrot and Cheddar Chewies (Homemade Dog Treats)

Homemade dog treats! They bake up nice and soft!

Servings: 60 chewies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup oatmeal (old fashioned)
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth dog safe, no onion/garlic - can swap with water if in doubt

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
  • In mixer bowl add yogurt, carrot, cheddar and oatmeal and half of flour mixture.
  • Mix on low speed and gradually add the remaining flour mixture.
  • Drizzle in the egg and broth.
  • Mix on medium speed until well combined.
  • Scoop 1 teaspoon portions, roll to form a ball and place onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Use a fork to flatten slightly (they will puff a little during baking.) They do not spread much during baking, so you can place them close together on pan.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside but still soft on the inside.
  • Remove and allow to cool.
  • Keep in refrigerator for a few days or freeze. *

Notes

*Homemade softer pet treats (don't have preservatives)-  They keep best in the refrigerator or freezer.

    These are fantastic treats. Easy to make and my dogs loved them! I would recommend to freeze what you don’t plan to use because the recipe makes a lot and mine got moldy on the 4th day.

      Hi Jesi – Glad your dogs enjoyed them! Yes, the homemade treats, especially chewy ones, can mold more quickly – I’ll add a note to the recipe! TY!

      I agree – nice to have something homemade with simple ingredients on hand. You can always move a couple to the refrigerator every couple days. …or they thaw pretty quickly on the counter.

    One of my dogs can’t have cheese – should I substitute something else or could it just be eliminated? Thank you!

      Hello PK – You could try swapping the cheese with 1/4 cup more carrot and 1/4 cup more oats. Or you can check out my whole Pet Treat Index for some non-dairy options.

    Can these be dehydrated to keep longer?

      Hi Anita – you could certainly give it a try! I haven’t tried myself but should help dry them out!

    Please make sure y’all are using dog safe chicken broth! Onions and garlic are poisonous to dogs and are often in broth!!!

    Hi, one of my dogs ( Chihuahua) is allergic to wheat flour. Can I use coconut flour and do you know how much? Oh and do you know how many calories are in one? Thank you

      Hi Sharon – I haven’t tried with coconut flour – I think I have made with oat flour. I would add a little less of the flour, let sit 5 min. see what the texture is and then adjust. Will probably absorb liquid differently from regular wheat flour.

        Based on the original recipe – the estimate for the calories is about 23. (I just calculated and added at the bottom of the recipe)
