DIY: How to Make Salmon Dog Treats
Editor’s Note: This week we are SO happy to bring you the latest installment in our #TOCDIY series, featuring homemade salmon dog treats! This week’s diy-er is Meg Lucas, a member of our #TOCFam, along with her dog, Teddy (or Ted for short), a 16-month-old Border Terrier (@token.ted on Instagram). Meg told us Ted is, “The most happy-go-lucky dog we've ever met, and we *love* his personality.” Keep scrolling for the easy AND inexpensive salmon treat recipe that Ted loves!

📎 The Supplies You’ll Need to Make Homemade Salmon Dog Treats
“We live in London, UK so Ted's a rural breed with an urban lifestyle. When we're not in lockdown 😅 my partner Sam and I love traveling around the UK with Ted. But right now we keep him busy with 'truffle hunting' (we hide a cotton pad with a drop of truffle oil around the house for him to find), training, and various enrichment activities involving the contents of our recycling bin” Meg told TOC.
One tin of canned salmon* (or any dog-safe canned fish/meat)
One tablespoon of chickpea flour (or any flour of your choice)
A silicone mat (we use a semi-sphere silicone baking mat with indents). Here’s one TOC found on Amazon.*
An oven or dehydrator
*Never feed raw Pacific salmon.
⏰ Time Commitment
Prep time: five minutes
Dehydrating time: three to four hours (don’t worry - you can work on other things at the same time)
✅ Step by Step: How to Cook Your Own Salmon Dog Treats
Mix together salmon and chickpea flour until you have a smooth paste (the texture of a mashed potato).
Smear the paste into your chosen molds.
Dehydrate in an oven or dehydrator for three to four hours at 70°C or 158°F.
Store in an airtight container for one week or freeze in portions.
