Blog: Homemade Cat Treats – Recipe by PetLink

Make a special treat for your special cat friend! Made with love (and ChatGPT), we’ve created a fun, simple recipe that you can use at any time.

Ingredients* (see notes)

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup cornmeal
• ¼ cup canned tuna (in water, drained)
• ¼ cup chicken or beef broth (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large egg

Tools:

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Rolling pin
• Cookie cutters/knife

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and cornmeal.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the tuna, broth, vegetable oil, and egg until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more broth.
5. Lightly flour an even surface and roll out the dough until it’s around 1/4” thick, then use a cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes or cut them into small squares.
6. Place the treats on the baking sheet and bake for 15 – 20 minutes until they are browned and firm.
7. Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool, preferably on a wire rack.

Once the treats are fully cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed by your best four-legged pal! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes:

*Remember to consider your cat’s dietary restrictions before selecting ingredients. Ask your veterinarian if you have any concerns about specific ingredients.
