Yes! An air fryer works much like a small convection oven, making it a great option for homemade dog treats. The circulating hot air helps cook the treats evenly while creating a slightly crisp exterior. Depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of your treats, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
An air fryer itself isn’t harmful for dogs—it’s simply a cooking appliance. What matters most are the ingredients you use. Homemade dog treats made with dog-safe ingredients can be a healthy alternative to many store-bought treats because you control exactly what goes into them. Always avoid ingredients that are toxic to dogs, such as chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, and artificial sweeteners like xylitol.
Yes! Freeze the treats for long-term storage. If you have made a large batch of treats or want to store them for an extended period of time, consider freezing them. Place the treats in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

How to Make Dog Treats in Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ Cup Flour
- 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
- ⅓ Cup Peanut Butter
- 2 Eggs
Instructions
- Add the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs to a large mixing bowl and mix until fully combined.
- Add in 1 cup of flour and mix until combined.
- Add in another cup of the flour and mix until a doughy mixture forms.
- Knead the dough by hand and add the remaining flour as needed, until the dough reaches a soft, but not sticky or crumbly consistency.
- Lay out a large piece of parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with flour before dumping the dough onto the prepared surface.
- Roll out with a rolling pin to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Cut out as many cookies as you can with your bone cookie cutter and set aside on a cookie sheet or similar dish.
- Line the bottom of your air fryer with parchment paper and place as many treats as you can, in the bottom of the air fryer basket, without them touching.
- Each air fryer is shaped differently and can hold varying amounts
- Cook on 370 degrees for 4-5 Minutes or until just lightly golden brown on the top. If your particular air fryer doesn’t let you set it to 370, use 365 instead. If it also doesn’t have that setting, use the next closest, as long as that option isn’t very far over the suggested temperature.
- Remove and let cool for a few minutes before feeding to your pooch!
