Blood pudding for dogs - easy recipe for dog treats

Want to make your own dog treats that are easy, affordable, and really appreciated? Then blood pudding is a perfect choice. With just one ingredient, you can create everything from soft reward bites to dry training treats that last a long time.

Here we show you how – and how you control the result yourself depending on drying time.

🦴 Ingredients

1 package blood pudding

(optional) a little oatmeal

👩🍳 How to make it

Preheat oven to 120°C

Cut the blood pudding into small pieces or punch out with cookie cutters

Place the pieces on a baking sheet with parchment paper

Dry in the oven for 1.5–3 hours

Let cool completely before serving

💡 How drying time affects your dog treats

The most important thing in the recipe is not the ingredients – but the drying time.

The longer you dry the blood pudding, the more liquid evaporates.
This makes the treats harder, less sticky, and last longer.

Shorter time (approx. 1.5–2 h) → softer treats

Longer time (approx. 2–3 h) → drier training treats

If you want really durable pieces, you can leave them at low heat for even longer.

🐾 Tips for best results

Punch out with small cookie cutters for extra nice treats

Cut small pieces if you're using them for training

Dry longer if you want a more durable treat

🧊 Storage

Soft treats: store in the fridge for 2–3 days

Dry treats: last longer, store cool or freeze

⚠️ Is blood pudding good for dogs?

Blood pudding contains iron and protein and can work well as a treat in small quantities.

Always check the ingredient list before giving blood pudding to your dog. Choose the purest variety possible. Some contain small amounts of onion and/or sugar, which is usually not a problem in small quantities but should be avoided in larger amounts.

Therefore, treats should always be given as a supplement – not as a substitute for the dog's regular food.

Keep in mind:

Give in moderation

Adjust the amount to your dog's size

Choose the purest variety possible

🐕 Why dogs love blood pudding

Its strong taste and scent make blood pudding one of the most effective reward treats – especially during training where you want the dog's full focus.
