Chef Bailey’s Valentine’s Day Heart-Shaped Dog Treats (Plus a Cuddle-Ready Clean Up)
Valentine’s Day is all about love, and no one deserves a little extra sweetness more than our dogs. This year, we’re celebrating with Chef Bailey’s homemade Valentine’s Day heart-shaped dog treats—a simple, wholesome way to show your pup just how much they mean to you. Whether you’re planning a cozy night in, a doggy date, or just another excuse to spoil them, these treats are made with love and perfect for sharing moments and happy dogs everywhere.
Ingredients
Beet Hearts
- 1 small beet, peeled and boiled
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 ½ cups oat flour, more as needed
Banana Hearts
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 ½ cups oat flour, more as needed
Apple Beet Hearts
- ½ small beet, peeled and boiled
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 ½ cups oat flour, more as needed
Directions
For each combination:
-
Combine the fruit/root and water in a food processor until smooth.
-
Add 1 ½ cups oat flour, and pulse until combined. Add more flour as needed, until a dough forms. The mixture will resemble pie dough or play dough.
-
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Use a rolling pin to roll to approximately ¼-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut into hearts or your shape of choice.
-
Transfer the shaped cookies to a baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper. Spread the cookies in an even layer.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Bake the cookies until firm, about 30-40 minutes. Set aside to cool, then transfer to an airtight container, then reward the good fur babies in your household.
Once the treats are gone and the crumbs are wiped away, what’s left is the best part—snuggles, happy tails, and a pup who feels deeply loved. Valentine’s Day with dogs isn’t about perfection; it’s about sharing time together, care, and the rituals that make everyday moments special.
After Bailey finishes her heart-shaped treats, we reach for BEST BARKIN’ WIPES™ to gently clean her face to clean away crumbs — no harsh ingredients, no fuss, just soft skin and a fresh pup ready for kisses. Because a clean dog is a cuddly dog, and cuddles are the real love language.
From our kitchen to yours, we hope these Valentine’s Day dog treats help you celebrate love in its purest form. 💗🐶
Happy Valentine’s Day from the canine project® —where care is always part of the recipe.
