Cheese Dog Treats are so easy to make and fun to give to your pooch! You only need 4 inexpensive ingredients and less than an hour of your time to make these crunchy, cheesy dog treats. These are sure to get some tails wagging!
Why We Love This Cheese Dog Treats Recipe
- Easy. These treats utilize just 4 ingredients and take less than an hour from start to finish.
- Healthy. Made with natural ingredients, you can feel good about giving these treats to your puppy.
- Pup Approved. My dogs love these tasty cheese biscuits, and I’m sure yours will as well!
Variations on Cheese Treats for Dogs
I like using whole wheat flour for dog biscuits for the extra nutritional value. Other types of flour are fine to use, as long as you know your dog isn’t allergic. You can also use virtually any type of cheese (except blue!), so try low-fat mozzarella or Swiss.

How to Store
Once your cheese biscuits have cooled, place them in an airtight container and they will keep well for around 2 months.
How to Freeze
This recipe makes a batch of 60 treats, so it’s a great idea to freeze them. Just pop them into a container or freezer bag and they will keep well for 3-4 months. Thaw the cheesy dog biscuits at room temperature before giving to your pooch.
Dogs can have almost any kind of cheese in moderation (avoid blue-veined cheeses!). Lower-fat cheeses tend to be better for them, so you can opt for a low-fat cheddar here.
These are treats and should be given as such. They shouldn’t replace your dogs’ main meals. One or two a day is plenty.
Yes, all-purpose flour works just fine! I personally prefer whole wheat flour for the nutritional benefits, but all-purpose is safe as long as your dog isn’t allergic.
Yes! We’re using ingredients that are safe for both dogs and people. While I wouldn’t exactly recommend snacking on these, if a little one gets their hands on them, they’ll be okay!

5-Star Review
“I loved this recipe! But better yet so did my dogs! I used the dough attachment on my Ninja food processor, threw all the ingredients in and out came the perfect dough! The dough was so easy to work with! This will definitely be my go to recipe for my dog treats from now on!” – Kathy
Can you use coconut flour for these like with the peanut butter treats?
As long as your dog is good with it!
I would love to have you cat treat recipe
Just search cat treats on this blog and you’ll find them!
Hey there! Thank you so much for the recipe! I was wondering whether these treats are also suitable (liked by) cats! I am creating little treat bags for the animals at my local rspca and was wondering whether they would also enjoy these! As most of the ones for cats don’t store as long! :)
Thank you!
I have cat treat recipes you can use too!
Great recipe! Easy to follow. My son made them, he’s 10. Our pups loved them!
Those look amazing, Vicki!
First pan out of the oven. Size wise, they’re about the same surface size as the brand I currently give my girls. However, following the recipe, 1/2 inch thick is quite a lot. The second pan is 1/4 inch.
Definitely modify to your (dog’s) liking!
These were easy to make but after eating one myself it needs more peanut butter. Therefore you might want to increase the peanut butter
Remember dogs taste differently than us! Their food is much more bland to be easier on their stomachs and they also don’t care as much as we humans do about flavor!
Do you know the calories per treat?
30 calories! You can make them smaller for fewer calories!

I hope you’re able to get to the recipe card, at the top of the page there is a button “Recipe ⬇”. There it has ingredients and instructions listed in a nice layout you can print off!
I loved this simple recipe. My 7 year old made them with a little help. We used white whole wheat flour because that’s what I had on hand. We had a dog biscuit pan. Our puppy, Ziggy, loved the treats.
Those look adorable!
Can you use rice flour or bread flour instead of wheat flour
I would use rice flour!
how did it turn out with rice flour and how much did you use?
