I absolutely love cheese. I put it on everything. It’s a problem. BUT, my dogs LOVE cheese even more than I do.
All I have to do is whisper “cheese” and they’ll come running from the other side of the house.
They were ecstatic to try these cheesy, homemade treats. And, by ecstatic, I mean they were absolutely obsessed and wanted an endless amount. 😂
EASY Homemade Dog Treat Recipe
Fortunately, these simple cheddar dog treats are ridiculously easy to make.
Everything can be thrown together in one bowl and ready to bake in a matter of minutes.
For other easy, 3-ingredient dog treat recipes, check out these Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats and these Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Pupsicles.
I do recommend using a blender or food processor to chop the cheese and rolled oats into a fine mixture before adding the eggs though.
This allows the eggs to fully cover every bit and actually hold the treats together.
Extra Cheesy & Wheat-Free
Because my babies LOVE cheese, I wanted to make these treats extra cheesy.
The recipe calls for 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. I use sharp cheddar, but you can use whichever cheddar cheese works for you and your pup.
These easy, 3-Ingredient Cheddar Dog Treats also include rolled oats and eggs.
There is NO flour in this recipe AT ALL. Which means...
These 3-Ingredient Cheddar Dog Treats are WHEAT-FREE, high protein, and relatively healthy for your dog.
Just like my recipe for Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats (Only 3 Ingredients!)
How to Make Homemade Dog Treats with Rolled Oats
I prefer to grind the cheese and oats together in a blender or food processor to create a fine mixture. This makes the batter easier to work with.
After I create the cheesy oat mixture, I put it in a mixing bowl and add eggs. The eggs allow everything to stick together, so make sure it's all fully combined.
Now comes the fun part...
You can either roll the dough into little balls and place on a prepared baking sheet.
OR… you can cut cute shapes using cookie cutters.
To do this, plop the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Spread it out. Then cut with your favorite cookie cutters.
I used a bone from this Wilton Cookie Cutters Set.
I love this Set of 8 Dog Bone Biscuit Cookie Cutters though. Each bone is a different size!

How did you use cookie cutters? My mixture was very wet and the shape just fell apart.
Margaret says
Both my puppy and I, absolutely loved the cheddar dog treats, they are sooo delicious and healthy that I now have to make double quantities for us both to share. Thank you so much. Margaret
Elizabeth says
Will these keep on the counter or do they need to be refrigerated?
Abigail says
My dog has a very sensitive stomach and it's been so hard finding treats he can have, never thought to make my own until I stumbled across these. He loved them and 24 hours later his stomach seems to still be in tact.
Question though, how long do these last?
Charlotte says
Hey! We made these and omg our doggo adores them!! Question how long do they ‘keep’ for? Longer if in fridge?
Natalie says
How should these be stored? And how long are they good for?
Jackie says
Perfect for training treats.
Elizabeth says
Added an apple and baked like biscotti my dog absolutely loves them!!
Pam says
For British fans. 350F is 180C or gas mark 4.
You can buy the American measuring 'cups' from many of the £1 shops. If I make these, I'll see if I can add the weights of the ingredients for better accuracy.
Soozee says
I made these today for my cousin’s dog. Easy enough to do. I rolled and cut them into small heart shapes. I cannot yet speak for how the dog likes them, but I ate 2 and they tasted good to me! Thank you for the recipe!
joyce says
My dog loved them and they were the easiest dog cookies I've ever made. Pulsing the oats with the cheese in the food processor is the best idea ever.
Lynn says
My dog loves these. I have also just made the peanut butter ones with gluten free flour for my other wee dog
Can both be frozen once baked?
Sherell says
Do you have to refrigerate these cheesy biscuits? If so, how long will they remain fresh?
Doris Hail says
How many eggs????
Anglea says
Very nice post. I definitely love this website. Keep it up!
Kirsty says
Made these today for my 11 week old puppy and my housemates dog and they both loved them
Princess says
First time cooking dog treats, I saved the washing up because I mixed together cheese and oats by hand, unfortunately many neighbours dogs love them as much as my fussy dog does, which means I’ll be cooking for awhile, so quick and easy, GREAT Princess
Marty says
Can they be frozen? How long do they keep?

Made these today and the mixture was to liquidity to roll out so don't know if 2 eggs was to much but didn't turn out right so plopped the dough like mixture on the pan and baked it that way .
Tom says
