Ever think about making homemade bones for dogs? Don't want to use your oven to heat up the whole house? NO problem, you can cook air fryer dog treats this way and pamper your pooch this week. One of many easy air fryer recipes on our blog.

Why would you want to bake in a Ninja Foodi or Cosori?? Let us count the reasons why for you. First off when we lived in the desert it could get up to 110 degrees in the summertime, ain't no way we was turning on the oven then. Sometimes we want to make a small batch of something too and this basket is solid for that.

You may have made homemade dog biscuits before, you can use the same favorite recipe and our timing / temperature. We have two versions below, one has pumpkin in it and the other is more of a peanut butter flavor only.

Tips: My Favorite models are the Cosori or making Ninja Foodi recipes with the lid that is attached.

It is best practice to put food into a hot basket. This is how to preheat air fryer first before adding your food so it becomes as crispy as possible. For best results, here's a printable free air fryer cooking time chart here for your fridge.

The interior of the air fryer basket is empty and features a mesh design, solid for cooking your favorite dishes like bang bang shrimp. The edge of the air fryer has a latch mechanism for securing the basket.

If you want to make things easy you can buy a bag of dog biscuit mix. The cook time may vary slightly depending on the recipe you're using because of how thick each one is. But the biggest difference will depend on how thick you roll them out. Try to keep it at about 1/4″ or so.

Go the extra mile with bone cookie cutters or slice them into bars. Believe us y'all, they won't care what they look like. The steps are similar to our air fryer gingerbread menbut won't taste as good to you. Use a stand mixer to make things easier or elbow grease will work too.

When it comes to ingredients you want to make sure they are all vet approved. If your pet has allergies call your professional specifically (they're the expert). In general if you aren't sure google what you are thinking of adding “can dogs eat _______” and you'll find lots of answers.

Ingredient notes

Like let's talk about flour. It's said that white or bleached isn't great for pooches. There isn't a nutritional value to it so whole wheat flour is better. You can find this in the same aisle and isn't that much more expensive. If you hate the idea of buying a whole bag and only using a bit, make our bread in a bag with it later on. That is fun.

What type of peanut butter is safe for dogs?

You want to look for a brand of peanut butter that is listed as natural, unsalted, unsweetened, with only peanuts listed as the ingredients and has no xylitol in it and/or chocolate/cocoa as those two things are dangerous for their intestinal systems.

Honey should be included in small amounts, could be omitted too. NO need for two separate wet and dry bowls to make homemade dog treats. throw it all together and combine until you get a thick dough. Use a tad of flour to roll it out.

Other Homemade Dog Treat Recipes

If you want to try both ours below and a sweet potato bone recipe <——–we have one here you could follow. Timing and temp. would remain the same, keep them all the same thickness.

If you only have an Instant Pot pressure cooker but have the air fryer lid you could “bake” them that way too. That typically will only fit about two at a time in that little basket though.

Have a slow cooker? Make a batch of Crockpot dog food for them too! It is nutritious with meat and vegetables. Similar to our boiled chicken for dogs it is high in protein and great for upset tummies too.

Lower into your basket and close. Cook for 4-5 minutes (timing depends on how thick/large your pieces are and what recipe you decide to use.
Lift paper out using pot holders when bone are lightly browned on the top. Set aside and allow that batch to cool completely before giving them to your puppy (as they sit they will continue to harden).
