Homemade Milk Bone Dog Treats
Many dogs are fond of Milk Bone treats but some of the ingredients on the side of the box are not even pronounceable. Here is a healthier choice: Homemade Milk Bone Dog Treats. These are pretty cute sitting in their treat jar too, looking a lot like store bought but it’s good to know they are safer for the furry family members. You probably already have a lot of these items on hand, as they are just simple pantry ingredients. Choose chicken or beef broth based on their preference or add parsley for a little breath freshening. You can use any small cookie cutters you have on hand. Here are some cute dog-themed cookie cutters that you can use over and over again. Your pooch will love to nibble on one of these.
Homemade Milk Bone Dog Treats Ingredients:
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup chicken or beef broth
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- ½ cup powdered milk
- 1 egg
Homemade Milk Bone Dog Treats Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Whisk together wet ingredients well, stir in dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Knead dough for 2-3 minutes. Roll out onto a floured surface to a 1/4” to 1/2” thickness.
Cut into dog bone shapes. Place on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove from pan and allow them to cool completely- they will dry very hard.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
*To gift these- just pop them in a mason jar or other pretty airtight container and tie on a ribbon- and maybe include the recipe on a gift card with a cute cookie cutter for them to make more for their pup when they run out.
We hope that your dog enjoys these Homemade Milk Bone Dog Treats, too!

What can i add if i want the treats to last longer? :)
Hide them from your dogs? ;) I’m kidding. I’m not sure. Maybe refrigerate them in an airtight container and that may help them last longer.
I make a variety of homemade treats and store them in the freezer. I just take a few out at a time, but they also seem to enjoy them frozen :)
Bake at what temperature?
Hi Kay! Bake at 350° F. It’s in the post but I can see how it could be hard to see it. Let us know how it turns out! :)
Well this is a really old post, but I hope someone can still see this. I was wondering if there’s a substitution that I can use for the powdered milk. It’s the only thing I don’t have and since we had a snowstorm last night , I really am not going to get a chance to go to the store.

Yes, good question about a substitute for powdered milk?
Thank you
Regular milk, just cut back on the broth or add a little more flour to get to the right consistency
powdered coffee creamer will work
