My Dogs Love These Treats
I wanted to make a dog treat that I knew Vik would go crazy for, and today was the day! One thing I will never understand is why dogs love cheese so much. In what natural scenario in the wild would canines ever have been introduced to cheese? haha
Anyways, Vík (and Kenzo) love cheddar cheese, so I wanted to make a homemade dog treat that Vík would really enjoy. Vík also prefers his treats to be crunchy vs. soft, so I made sure to bake these a tad longer than my other treats so they would be crunchier for him. Wow. He is kinda spoiled, eh? But I don’t consider it spoiled; I consider it “so loved.”
Healthy Homemade Triple Cheddar Dog Treats
Equipment
- Food Processor
- Silicone Mold
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 3 Tablespoons of Refined Coconut Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Put old-fashioned oats into a blender or food processor. Place the lid on, and give it a go on high speed until the oats start to turn into a course flour consistency.
- Add the Eggs, Coconut Oil, and Shredded Cheddar Cheese to the blender/food processor and set to pulse for 1-2 minutes.
- Scoop spoonfuls into your silicone baking sheet and press down to fill the molds. I used this one for the dog Bones & Paws shapes, but any silicone mold will do just fine.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until browned on the top
- Remove from the oven.
- Pop treats out of silicone mold.
- Allow the treats to cool completely before giving to your dog.
- Cover and store leftovers at room temperature or in the refrigerator. These treats will look and feel a little denser than a typical human-grade Oatmeal cookie.

FAQS
How Do I Store Dog Treats?
These homemade dog treats should be stored just like cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
Can These Dog Treats Be Frozen?
After they have cooled, place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze them for up to 2 months.
Is Cheese Safe for Dogs?
It is always best to feed these treats in moderation, as with all treats. While cheese can be safe to feed to your dog, there are some things to remember.
Cheese is high in fat, and feeding too much to your dog regularly can cause weight gain and lead to obesity.
Dogs can also be lactose intolerant, so it is important to note if your dog shows any signs of an upset stomach after eating cheese. If this happens, discontinue feeding them cheese and consult your veterinarian for further advice.

My grandsons loved these! The rottie, teenage boy that he is, loves anything. But the newest addition is much more discriminating-she won’t touch carrots or apple slices-and she adores these. Unfortunately she now turns her nose up at my daughter’s store-bought training bites! So I have another batch in the oven now.
Grand dogs, not grand sons!
