Our Herbal Biscuit Recipe (A Gift From Our Apothecary)

For years, our herbal biscuits were one of our most loved products.

They were simple, nourishing, and a beautiful way to give dogs daily herbal support in a form that felt like a treat.

But as Furbal has grown, we’ve made a conscious shift to focus on what we do best: potent, flexible, customizable herbal extracts and powders.

They allow us to support more dogs, focus on protocols that help dogs move through bigger health crisis, and connect with families looking for answers on their dog’s unique healing journeys.

So instead of quietly letting the biscuits go…

We’ve decided to give you the recipe.

This is our gift to you, straight from our apothecary.

Now you can make your own herbal biscuits at home, using the same nourishing base, and simply add the Furbal herbal powders that best support your dog.

Why We Discontinued Our Herbal Biscuits

This wasn’t about removing something, it was about expanding what’s possible.

Every dog is different. Some need gut support. Some need immune balance. Some need joint, skin, or nervous system care.

With Furbal Herbal Powders, you get to customize the herbs to your dog’s needs, straight from your home kitchen.

And now with this recipe, you get the best of both worlds:

  • Homemade treats
  • Fresh ingredients
  • And targeted herbal support

The Base Biscuit Recipe

This is a simple, gentle, dog-safe base that works beautifully with any Furbal powder blend.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup coconut flour 
  • 1 cup pumpkin purĂ©e (or mashed sweet potato)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 banana (mashed with a fork)
  • 1-2 TB peanut butter

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Mix all wet ingredients
  3. Add peanut butter
  4. Grind the chia seeds in a coffee grinder or food processor & add to the wet ingredients
  5. Add in the Furbal herbal powder of your choice!
  6. Slowly mix in the coconut flour last into a soft dough. Coconut flour is much more absorbent so go slow and stop if it looks too dry. You can always add another egg or banana if the dough feels like it’s too dry. 
  7. Roll out and either cut into shapes, press out on a sheet pan and cut into squares with a knife or simply roll into small balls and flatten.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden on the top. I like to then flip them and let them bake for another 10-15 minutes. All ovens are different though so keep an eye on them the first time you make them to have a better feel of timing based on your particular oven.
  9. Let cool completely before storing.
  10. You can either keep as is and store them in the refrigerator, or dehydrate them a bit longer in the oven at a low temp or in a dehydrator to help them last longer.

General Guideline:

Start with 2 TBs total powder per batch, depending on your dog’s size and sensitivity. Increase the amount of herbs as you feel comfortable. Or even rotate batches seasonally.

Why This Is Better Than Store-Bought Treats

Most dog treats are:

  • High in fillers
  • Baked at extreme temperatures
  • And contain herbs in trace (ineffective) amounts

When you make them yourself:

  • You control the quality
  • You control the dosage
  • And your dog gets real functional benefits, not just flavor

This turns treats into daily herbal therapy.

Our Philosophy

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing.

We believe in:

  • Root cause support
  • Gentle daily nourishment
  • And empowering guardians to participate in their dog’s healing

This recipe is part of that philosophy.

You no longer need us to make the biscuits for you, you get to make them with us.

Think of this as:

Your kitchen + our herbs = a home apothecary for your dog.
