Canine Nutritionist Kristina Johansen shares her quick and easy recipe for low-fat, low-calorie homemade dog treats.

Dog treats in bowl and on tray

These treats have a satisfying crunch, are nutritious for your dog and can be made in just 10 minutes.

Small but mighty, chickpeas pack a nutritional punch for relatively few calories, while coconut oil is not only delicious, but also contains medium chain triglycerides. Dill has antibacterial properties, while parsley is a rich source of beta-carotene, vitamin C and folic acid (vitamin B9).

Ingredients
