Homemade Pill Pockets For Dogs
These homemade pill pockets for dogs are a perfect alternative to store-bought pill pockets from the Greenies brand. No baking required! They are made with 5 simple ingredients, not only saving money but also healthier for dogs.
I stopped by Petco the other day to get some more squeaky balls for Rambo. I was surprised by how expensive those Greenies Pill Pockets were selling for—a 7-oz bag for over $10. It's made with 13 ingredients: Chicken, Glycerin, Wheat Flour, Wheat Gluten, Vegetable Oil, Dried Corn Syrup, Natural Flavor, Vinegar, Sodium Bisulfate, Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor, Mixed Tocopherols, and Citric Acid (preservatives), Rosemary Extract.
After reading the ingredients, I thought to myself that I need to create a healthier recipe and help all my friends save money!

What ingredients you need to make homemade treats for dogs with yeast infections?
Cooked chicken breast .
Hard boiled egg
Dog-friendly broth (I use either Open Farm or Native Pet)
Coconut flour
100 % Organic Coconut MCT oil - MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, which are a type of fatty acid that is easier for the body to digest and absorb compared to long-chain fatty acids found in other oils. Organic Coconut MCT oil is typically extracted from pure coconut oil using a process that isolates the medium-chain triglycerides, resulting in a concentrated oil that is rich in these beneficial fats.
How to make homemade pill pockets for dogs?
In a food processor, puree cooked chicken breast, cooked egg, broth, and MCT oil until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour with the chicken mixture. If the texture is too wet, you can add a little more coconut flour.
Use a teaspoon to scoop out the mixture and roll it into a ball. Use your pinky to make a hole as the pill pocket.
FAQs and tips on homemade treats for dogs with yeast infections?
What is the best way to store this? I store them in the fridge and used them within 4 days.
Can I use other flour other than coconut flour? Coconut flour is recommended in this recipe because it doesn’t require cooking.
Can I use regular coconut oil instead of MCT oil? It’s not a good idea to use coconut oil in this recipe because the treat will harden a lot after being refrigerated, making it less moldable for use as a pill pocket.
