I like to grind the vegetarian dog food diet, in my coffee bean grinder to help release that luscious flavor. An extra benefit of doing it this way is that the next time you make coffee, it has a delightful anise flavor.

If you don’t have a coffee grinder, this dog treats recipes still works just fine, using the whole anise seeds.

Dogs love anise so much that it definitely is worth the effort to get some for your treats. Anise is used in people cookies, and it is available in grocery stores in the spice/baking section of the store. It comes in powder form or whole seeds.

This dog cookie recipe uses the whole seeds, but, if you prefer, just substitute an equal amount of ground anise seeds or anise powder. The reason that I use the seeds is that they keep their characteristic smell and taste longer. The powder seems to lose some of its strength over time.

Don’t have a dog cookie cutter? Sometimes it is really hard to find the exact shape that you want. I know that I have spent literally months looking for a particular shape. Why not make one? Here is how to make a dog cookie cutter out of plastic. (opens new window)

Ingredients For DOG Cookies

  Directions for Homemade DOG Cookies

  • Place all the ingredients in your bread maker in the order suggested by the manufacturer.

  • Set the bread maker to the dough cycle.

  • When the dough is ready, divide it into 3 equal portions. This makes it easier to handle.

  • Roll the dough into a sheet that is ¼” thick.

  • Using a dog shaped cookie cutter, cut out the cookies. The cookie in the photo is approximately 2 ½” x 2 ½”. Depending on the size of your dog, you may want to make larger or smaller cookies.

  • Place the cookies on a lightly greased baking sheet.

  • Bake the cookies at 300 degrees F for about an hour.

  • Turn off the oven and let the cookies continue to dry, in the oven, overnight.

  These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 months. But my guess is that they won’t last that long!

  If you would like to use a dog shaped cookie cutter that looks more like your dog (well, some are more realistic than others), you can find several online stores that sell breed specific cookie cutters. Good and healthy dog treats recipes are not always easy to find. I hope you like this one!
