Blueberries are one of the best fruit treats for dogs — low calorie, high in antioxidants, and most dogs love them. These no-bake training bites use blueberries, coconut oil, and oat flour for a small, soft treat that works well for repetitive reward training.
⚠️ Before you start: Follow the 10% treat rule — treats should not exceed 10% of your dog's daily calories. Introduce new foods gradually. Never add salt, garlic, onion, xylitol, grapes, raisins, chocolate, macadamia nuts, or alcohol. If your dog has allergies, a health condition, or is on medication, check with your vet first.

- 1 cup (100g) oat flour
- 2 tbsp coconut oil — melted
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt — no xylitol
- ½ crushed joint tablet — optional, adds glucosamine

Why blueberries are an excellent dog ingredient
Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and fibre. The AKC notes they are low in calories — ideal for training treats where many are given in one session. Their small size also makes them perfect as direct training rewards without any preparation.
