Salmon & Spinach Biscuits For Dogs: A Nutrient-Packed, Omega-Rich Treat

If you love treating your dog to something special without relying on store-bought snacks, these Salmon & Spinach Biscuits are a great place to start. They smell amazing while baking, have a rich flavor dogs instantly respond to, and still manage to be genuinely healthy. What I love most about these biscuits is how balanced they are.

Salmon brings that bold, savory taste dogs crave while also supporting skin, coat, and joints. Spinach quietly adds nutrients without overpowering the flavor.

It’s the kind of treat that feels indulgent but still fits into a healthy routine—especially for older dogs or very active ones. Once you make these, don’t be surprised if your dog starts hovering around the kitchen every time you bake.

Ingredients: Wholesome and Packed with Goodness

Everything in this recipe is simple, familiar, and dog-safe. No fillers, no unnecessary extras—just real ingredients that work well together and are easy on digestion.

You’ll need:

• 1 cup oat flour or brown rice flour
  A gentle, gluten-free base that most dogs tolerate very well.
• ½ cup canned salmon (drained, skinless, boneless)
  The main protein source, rich in omega-3 fatty acids for coat and joint support.
• ¼ cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  Adds vitamins and antioxidants without changing the flavor dogs love.
• 1 egg
  Helps bind the dough together and provides extra protein.
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional)
  Supports digestion and adds even more omega-3s.
• 1 tablespoon water or salmon juice
  Keeps the dough moist and improves texture and taste.

Instructions: Making Salmon & Spinach Biscuits in 6 Easy Steps

This recipe is very beginner-friendly. You don’t need any special equipment or baking experience—just follow each step and take your time.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the biscuits don’t stick and cleanup stays easy.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon

Drain the salmon completely and flake it with a fork. Take a moment to check for skin or bones, especially if your dog is smaller or tends to gulp food.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine:

• The flour
• Chopped spinach
• Egg
• Flaxseed meal (if using)

Add the salmon and mix until everything comes together. If the dough feels too dry, add water or salmon juice a little at a time until it holds together without being sticky.

Step 4: Shape the Biscuits

Scoop small portions of dough, roll them gently, then flatten slightly to form biscuit shapes. Place them on the baking sheet with a bit of space between each one.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the biscuits feel firm. If your dog prefers crunchier treats, leave them in a few extra minutes or allow them to dry inside the oven as it cools.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the biscuits cool completely before serving. Once cooled, they’re ready to enjoy—and your dog will let you know just how much they love them.

Why These Ingredients Are Perfect for Your Dog

Every ingredient here serves a purpose. The flour provides steady energy and is easy on the stomach. Salmon supports healthy skin, a shiny coat, and flexible joints. Spinach adds immune-supporting vitamins without overwhelming the recipe.

Eggs contribute structure and protein, while flaxseed meal supports digestion and coat health. Even the added liquid matters—it makes the dough workable and boosts flavor for picky eaters.

Storing the Biscuits

After the biscuits have fully cooled:

• In the fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
• In the freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw small portions as needed.

This makes it easy to prepare a batch in advance and always have treats on hand.

Serving Ideas: Ideal for Special Occasions and Snack Time

These biscuits are very versatile:

• Break into small pieces for training rewards
• Serve whole as a satisfying snack
• Crumble over meals to boost flavor and interest

They’re especially helpful for dogs who get bored with plain food.
