Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 15-20 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes | Makes: About 20 bone treats
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz plain Greek yogurt (look for live active cultures – completely safe and beneficial for dogs)
- 3 oz fresh strawberries, diced (remove all green tops for safety)
- 2 tablespoons honey (natural sweetness that enhances berry flavor)
- 4 oz oat flour (provides perfect binding texture and digestive benefits)
- 1 large egg (binding protein that holds everything together)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, diced strawberries, and honey until well combined—the pink color will be absolutely beautiful.
- Stir in oat flour gradually until a workable dough forms that holds together without being too dry.
- Whisk egg separately, then incorporate into the dough mixture until everything is well combined.
- Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface for perfect texture balance.
- Use bone-shaped cookie cutter to create treats that look as good as they taste.
- Place treats on baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until firm but not overly browned—yogurt will set beautifully.
- Cool completely before serving to allow flavors to meld and prevent burned tongues.
Notes:
- Always remove strawberry tops and stems before dicing (tough parts aren’t good for dogs)
- Cool completely before serving (yogurt-based treats need time to set properly)
- Add oat flour gradually to avoid dense, heavy dough
- Store in refrigerator since these contain fresh dairy
Storage Tips:
- Store in refrigerator for up to one week for freshness and safety
- Keep in airtight container to maintain moisture and prevent odor absorption
- Actually taste better slightly chilled from the fridge
- Don’t leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours
What Makes This Recipe Special:

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):
- Antioxidant Boost: Add a few blueberries along with strawberries for extra antioxidants and gorgeous color
