1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this prevents sticking and makes cleanup so much easier.
2. In a large bowl, mix shredded venison, grated carrots, chopped green beans, whole wheat flour, egg, and coconut oil until a workable dough forms (if your dog can contain their excitement that long).
3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness—not too thin or they’ll get too crispy, not too thick or they won’t cook evenly.
4. Use cookie cutters to cut out fun biscuit shapes and place them on your prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch—they should smell absolutely amazing but not be dark brown.
6. Let these cool completely before treating your pup—I know they’ll be doing the full-body wiggle, but safety first with hot biscuits.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—hot biscuits can burn your dog’s mouth
• If dough is too crumbly, add coconut oil one teaspoon at a time
• Make sure venison is completely cooked with no pink spots for safety
• These get more flavorful after the first day of storage

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week
• Freeze for longer storage—they thaw quickly and maintain their crunch
• They actually develop better flavor after sitting overnight
• Toss if they develop any off smells or signs of mold

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Venison provides lean, high-quality protein for muscle strength without common allergens, while fresh vegetables add essential vitamins and fiber. Carrots offer beta-carotene for eye health, and green beans provide digestive support—way more nutritious than store-bought treats filled with mystery ingredients and preservatives.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Birthday Special Version: Add a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt for extra richness (requires refrigerated storage)

Joint Support Version: Add a small pinch of turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits and golden color

Sweet Potato Version: Replace half the carrots with grated sweet potato for different flavors and textures

Senior Dog Version: Add extra coconut oil and reduce baking time by 5 minutes for softer texture
