Delicious dog treats with just two ingredients.
Green Bean Crunchies are healthy dog treats that are ideal for adult dogs, especially overweight dogs. Dogs love these crunchies and you’ll love that there are only two ingredients, both which are superfoods. Green beans are an excellent source of vitamins, A, C, and E, as well as fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Dogs thrive on antioxidant-rich foods such as green beans. Olive oil is another superfood that has many health benefits for dogs. This antioxidant helps to give dogs more energy, improve their immune system, and reduce dry skin. Green Bean Crunchies are a good choice when giving a treat to overweight dogs. Be sure to use portion control when giving your dog any type of treats or biscuits.
NOTE: Check with your veterinarian before making any changes to your pet’s diet. Also, please be aware of any allergies your pet may have to specific ingredients and avoid ingredients which have caused reactions in your pets in the past. If you are unsure about a specific ingredient found in one of our recipes, introduce the food to your pets in small amounts first. Doggie Green Bean Crunchies are intended as a special treat and should not be served as a meal or on a daily ongoing basis.

Thank you Nichole!
I want to know if you can use fresh green beans. Already do sweet potatoes. In which my dog along with our neighbors love. My dog has skin issues and anxiety. When she started wit these issues, we made sure to give foods grain free. Her dog has salmon as main ingredient. I make all of her snacks so she doesn’t get anything with additives. I also add coconut oil to her diet for her skin.
Awwww…you’re such a good pet parent. Yes, I used fresh green beans when making this recipe.
How about using broccoli? My dog will not eat green beans. She is on a fresh food diet by NomNomNow, which is delivered monthly. It is calorie controlled. Do you know how many calories these treats provide. thanks,
Christine, Hmmmmm…I’m not sure about dehydrating broccoli. Please let us know if it works. 🙂
Could you use an air fryer to make this?
Chris, I would recommend cooking on a low heat as well.
These did not turn out crispy at all. I tried first with fresh green beans and again with frozen green beans each time- no bueno!! I did both in my dehydrator and left in longer and still soggy?
Michelle, Hmmmm…I’m not sure what could have happened. The oven might be your best bet.
I wonder if these would make good people snacks? Sounds healthy enough.
Patti, Yes, I love them myself. 🙂
Just an FYI . I fed my dogs green beans everyday to supplement there meals. At age 4 my female developed bladder stones. They were analyzed and were Silica stones. Green beans are very high in Silica. She had to go on a low silica diet after that.
Shawn, The Doggie Green Bean Crunchies are a treat and not intended for daily consumption. Thank you for the feedback.
Love these. I now have a healthy snack that me and my granddog can share. I like them as much as he does. I have made them twice. I plan to try carrots and beets too. He loves them too. He usually gets canned green beans with his dinner so these are a great snack. Thank you.
Glad to hear the both of you can enjoy!
Glad to hear the both of you can enjoy!
After the green beans are done in the dehydrator can you freeze them to give at christmas
Terri, I’m not sure. It might make them mushy.
Good people snack too when you want to crunch?
Hi Abbey,
We have hundreds of yummy people snacks that can be found HERE. Enjoy 🙂
I dont add the oil. I sprinkle with nutritional yeast when they are damp then dehydrate in the oven. Nutritional yeast has a cheesy flavor.
Thanks for the tip, Cindy. 🙂
I made this recipe today, and my feedback is it would be helpful to indicate if the temperature is Celsius or Fahrenheit, because the recipe stays the same at 170 whether one used the imperial or metric conversion. I cooked a fresh bag of green beans tossed in 1 T olive oil at 170 degrees for 9 hrs and they are oily, chewy and definitely not crispy. My dogs will still eat them, because they are dogs – but definitely not what I was expecting after having my oven on literally all day.
Jennifer, The temperature is 170 degrees.
170 …Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Fahrenheit.
Can these be given to cats? My cats love my dogs frozen cut green beans. I give them some for both of his meals. He gets to eat in peace. I could make them for both?
Danea, Always check with your vet before making any changes to your cat diet.. Hope this helps.
Everything sounds great
