Safe Dog Treat Ingredients

Using safe dog treat ingredients in your homemade dog treats? These articles on dog biscuit ingredients will help you choose human grade foods that are safe and will not harm your dog.

Unfortunately, some human foods that are good for you, are actually toxic foods for dogs. They can make your dog sick, or worse, in some cases, they can even be fatal.

However, if you do a little research, you can make healthy dog treats for your pet—knowing that your own homemade dog treats are much better for your dog than most store-bought treats.



Many pet owners started baking treats and making food for their dogs when we had the dog food recalls in 2007.

Our eyes were opened to the dangers of letting someone else decide what our dogs eat, and to the possibility that we were feeding our pets toxic chemicals like melamine.

Well intentioned people started baking for their pets, and they assumed that if an ingredient was healthy for people, it would be healthy for dogs. But not all dog food ingredients are alike…

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Some very healthy human foods like walnuts, garlic and raisins are harmful to dogs.

The good news is that there are many healthy human foods that can be used in dog treats, and they will be good for your dog.

for you dog, if you use healthy ingredients.
