Cheesy Sweet Potato Dog Biscuits
Sweet potato gives these biscuits a naturally sweet, chewy base, while a little cheese makes them irresistible. They are rich in fiber and beta-carotene — a treat that feels as good as it tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups whole-wheat or oat flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine mashed sweet potato, cheese and egg.
- Mix in flour to form a dough.
- Roll, cut, and place on a lined tray.
- Bake 22–25 minutes until firm; cool before serving.
🩺 Vet-informed safety note
Cheese is fine for most dogs in small amounts — choose low-fat and skip it if your dog is lactose-sensitive. Always serve sweet potato cooked, never raw. Always avoid these in any dog treat: xylitol (a sweetener often in peanut butter), chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, and excess salt or sugar. Treats should make up no more than about 10% of your dog’s daily calories. If your dog has allergies, a sensitive stomach, or a health condition, check with your veterinarian first.
Storage
Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Always let treats cool fully before serving.
