A Simple Dog-Friendly Recipe Your Pup Will Love

As pet parents, we all want to spoil our dogs with something tasty, but also safe, healthy, and easy to make. While there are plenty of human foods dogs shouldn’t eat, there are also some simple, dog-safe ingredients that can be turned into a fun treat at home.

Today, we’re making a Sweet Potato & Chicken Bites recipe, a wholesome snack that’s gentle on digestion and packed with flavor.



Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and diced)
  • ½ cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 tbsp Nextrition Air-Dried Dog Food of your choosing (beef, lamb, salmon or chicken) (crumbled, for an extra nutrient boost)
  • 1 tbsp oat flour (or whole rolled oats, blended into flour)
  • 1 egg


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
  2. Steam or boil the sweet potato until soft, then mash it in a bowl
  3. Add shredded chicken, oat flour, and egg. Mix until well combined
  4. Fold in the crumbled Nextrition Air-Dried Food for extra taste and nutrition
  5. Scoop small spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking tray
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes, until firm and lightly golden
  7. Let cool completely before serving to your pup


Why This Recipe Works

  • Sweet Potato → gentle fiber for digestion and naturally sweet taste dogs enjoy
  • Chicken → lean protein that keeps energy levels steady
  • Oat Flour → simple, dog-safe binder with extra fiber
  • Nextrition Air-Dried Dog Food → a powerhouse of nutrients, added flavor, and crunch

Unlike highly processed kibble that can take a long time to break down in your dog’s stomach, Nextrition’s air-dried recipes are crafted to be easier on digestion; which makes them a smart ingredient to fold into homemade treats.


Feeding Tips

  • Offer these bites as an occasional snack, not a full meal
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
  • For longer storage, freeze in small portions and thaw before serving

 

Making homemade dog treats is a wonderful way to bond with your pup and know exactly what’s going into their food. By mixing in a high-quality base like Nextrition’s Air-Dried Food, you’re not only adding flavor but also boosting nutrition with ingredients designed for your dog’s wellbeing.
