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!

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.
Chris Henderson says
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?
Pet Coupon Savings says
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
