The Original Dog Treat Maker

This is a great way to bake dog bones. It does take a while but they come out perfectly shaped. Once my dog found out what I was doing she was sitting in front of the counter waiting till they were done. I read some reviews of this being messy but my mix was on the thicker side and I filled the bones like the instructions said and it didn't ooze over or stick. It was easy to clean up, just wiped it out with a cloth. They are fun to make and if you are doing something else in the kitchen you won't notice that it takes about 10 or 11 minutes to bake 4 bones. It took me about an hour to make them all. I put the finished bones in the oven like the instruction said if you want a crisper bone. Once baked you can use them as they come out of the bake-a-bone. There have been so many recalls on pet treats that I feel if I make these I know what my dog is getting.

I purchased this for Diesel so I could prepare him some goodies at home. This gave me the opportunity to make him some wholesome treats with all his favorite ingredients. He loves the smell of fresh cookies cooking just for him. This treat maker also came with a little booklet of recipes which I have tried and they are all great. Since you know exactly what you are putting into the treats, it's a healthy alternative for your fur-baby! I have even tried them and some are not that bad. I would not go as far as making myself a batch, but they are good to the human taste buds as well! Your fur-baby will love the treats! I like to make him some while I am making treats for myself so we can enjoy treat time together!

My very first time using it the treats came out even better than expected! It is very easy to use and the recipes in the recipe book are very simple and easy to make. It is a very fun and rewarding hobby making dog treats and this machine takes it to a whole new level. It does take a long time to make an entire batch of mix because you can only make four at a time but I didn't mind spending an hour to make homemade dog treats. If you have the money and more than one dog I would recommend buying two machines so that you can knock out making 8 treats at a time rather than only 4.

This is a must-have item if you have a dog, large or small. When you make your own treats, you control what goes in them; no additives or preservatives, which makes me feel better about giving my dog homemade treats. The company offers premixed flavors, just add water, but I prefer using natural ingredients - flour, milk, cheese - The only downside to this treat maker is that you can make only 4 treats at a time. I'm kind of impatient, have a busy schedule, and from beginning to end it takes about an hour and a half. But on the plus side, the average number of treats is 24, so you get a lot done!! Bottom line, this is an awesome treat maker...I wore my old one out after 2 years of hard service...

Very good quality. Easy to make treats. From reviews I read the treats last up to a week, I'd have to disagree. They bake cake-like. After about to days in a tightly sealed container, they were getting stale like bread. Still, super cute. Small enough to store easily. My dogs loves the basic bacon recipe.

**ammended review**. After posting this review, I have to recant! A month later, it overheated after first failing to bake. Then it just quit altogether. I am stuck with this and not happy. Would NOT buy or recommend this. Worked great for a VERY short while!Was bery pleased with this purchase. I have only baked one recipe batch since recieving it but the bones came out beautifully and it was easy to use. They are softer than I was used to from "store bought" bones and I broke them in half to make sure they did not eat one whole and I was afraid of choking. I am going to use the food dehydrator for the next batch to see if that will crisp them up. I did not have good luck with letting them sit in a warm oven for hours as the directions said. The recipe book is great and you don't have to buy a lot of stuff that is not already in your pantry. All in all, a good purchase. Dogs love them.

The dogs and I love this. It has gotten to the point that when the alarm on the stove goes off they coming running. Yes I would agree with the other comments that this is not "professional" but it was a BIG hit at Christmas. I have 5 dogs and 6 doggie nephews and they all loved the treats. I have baked the Parmesian Herb and the Chessy Bones and the recipes are very tasty; yes I tried their dog bones. I used a gulten/grain free flour and almond milk. Yes, it is slow cooking only 4 bones at a time at 10 min cook cycle and both recipes yielded about 26 bones each. They looked professional enough that my friends on Facebook had good comments. If you like to cook for your fur children, I highly recommend this. My niece has already her boy one and they love theirs too. I have used this 3 times now with no problems.

My dogs LOVED the treats I made for them with the Bake-a-Bone. The recipe book if full of ideas and you can make bones with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. It works like a waffle maker, but neater. There was almost no clean-up at all - nothing stuck. Best Mother's Day gift you get if you are a dog mom. I will be baking bones from now on, and all my friends and neighbors with dogs will now get homemade treats for Christmas and birthdays.
