Quail Egg Dog Treats Recipe

It was a lazy Saturday morning when Aurora, my curious golden retriever, pawed at my grocery bag and unearthed a carton of quail eggs. I’d picked them up on a whim, thinking they’d be a fun new ingredient for the weekend. She sniffed them like they were treasure—and in that moment, inspiration struck. I had already been trying to make healthier, more nutrient-rich treats at home instead of buying store-bought ones full of preservatives. Aurora has a sensitive stomach, so natural ingredients are a must for us. I decided to whip up a batch of soft, gentle Quail Egg Dog Treats —and let me tell you, she was hooked from the very first sniff.

• 6 quail eggs (raw or lightly scrambled)

• 1/2 ripe banana (mashed)

• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (plain, unsweetened)

• 1 cup oat flour (or ground rolled oats)

• Optional: 1 tbsp natural peanut butter (xylitol-free!)
  
  Dog-safe tip: Always check ingredients for xylitol, onion, garlic, or added sugars.

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl.

3. Add quail eggs, pumpkin puree, and optional peanut butter.

4. Mix in oat flour slowly to form a soft dough.

5. Scoop into small spoonfuls or use silicone molds.

6. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until slightly golden.

8. Cool completely before giving to your pup.

Aurora always knows when the mixing bowl comes out. Her head tilts, ears perk, and she sits so still you'd think she was meditating. While mixing these treats, she nudges my leg and waits for her signature taste test—licking the spoon clean. These little moments in the kitchen make ordinary days feel special.
