Homemade banana sardine dog biscuits are a healthy and tasty treat that you can make for your furry friend. These biscuits are packed with nutrients and flavor that your dog will love. Bananas are a great source of potassium, fiber, and vitamins B6 and C, while sardines are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals like calcium and phosphorus.

By making these biscuits at home, you can control the ingredients and ensure that your dog is getting a wholesome snack without any harmful additives. Plus, it's a fun and rewarding activity to do with your pup!

The flavor combination of sardines and bananas were well received by my dogs, especially as they were baking. They loved our frozen sardine dog treats too. My dogs are big fans of bananas and sardines, so I thought that I would put them together in a recipe. It's not something I would try myself though!

ARE SARDINES GOOD FOR DOGS?

Yes, sardines can be good for dogs. Sardines are a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for maintaining healthy skin and coat, supporting joint health, and promoting overall wellbeing. They also contain minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for healthy bones.

However, it's important to feed sardines to your dog in moderation and to choose sardines that are low in sodium and don't contain any added oils or flavorings. Too much salt can lead to dehydration and other health problems in dogs, so it's best to limit the amount of salt in their diet.

Also, it's important to note that some dogs may have allergies or sensitivities to certain types of fish, including sardines.

Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.

INGREDIENTS

These homemade dog treats have just 5 simple ingredients.

the ingredients for banana sardine dog biscuits

RECIPE TIPS

If the dog biscuit dough is too try, add a few tablespoons of water.

The rice flour is gluten and wheat free but other dog friendly flours that can be used in this recipe are wholewheat, oat flour, coconut flour and chickpea flour.

Omit the turmeric and add chopped fresh parsley for a dog friendly herb swap.

Rolling out the dough in between parchment paper helps with any sticky dough.

STORAGE

These homemade banana sardine dog biscuits should be stored in an airtight container and kept in the fridge. They should last about 7 days.

You can freeze any treats and they will keep up to 3 months. Store them in zip lock bags or an airtight container. Defrost at room temperature before giving the treats out.
