Grain Free Dog Treats Recipe (Salmon & Sweet Potato, Vet Approved)
These grain-free salmon & sweet potato treats are a simple, vet-approved option for pups with sensitive stomachs or grain allergies. Made with five natural ingredients, they’re rich in omega-3s, easy to digest, and perfect for weekly homemade batches.
Equipment
- Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Mixing bowl & spatula
- Rolling pin & cookie cutter
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Oven (preheated to 350°F / 175°C)
Food ingredients
- 1 cup cooked salmon flaked, boneless
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato steamed or baked
- 1 egg binding agent
- ½ cup coconut flour grain-free alternative
- 1 tbsp coconut oil adds shine and healthy fats
Operation steps
- Prepare Ingredients: Steam or bake sweet potatoes until soft, then mash thoroughly. Flake cooked salmon into fine pieces, removing any bones.
- Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine salmon, mashed sweet potato, and egg. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Slowly add coconut flour and coconut oil. Mix until a dough-like texture forms — soft but not sticky.
- Shape & Bake: Roll the dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut into small bite-sized pieces. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until firm and golden.
- Cool & Store: Allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight jar for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
note
These treats are best enjoyed fresh, stored in an airtight jar for up to 5 days or frozen for later.
For pups with sensitivities, keep protein rotation simple and monitor reactions when introducing new ingredients.
If you prefer ready-made options, look for grain-free treats made with real salmon, fish oil, and coconut flour for healthy fats and shine.
Ethan especially enjoys single-ingredient salmon bites and crisp fish-skin chews when we skip baking days.
