Morphology

homemade + dog + biscuit

The meaning is directly compositional: 'homemade' (made at home) + 'dog' (for a dog) + 'biscuit' (a baked snack) yields a biscuit made at home for a dog. This is a straightforward noun phrase following common compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it (aside from the minor cultural detail that dog biscuits differ from human ones).

Etymology

Homemade dog biscuit is a simple picture: homemade means 'made at home', dog shows who it is for, and biscuit is a small baked treat. So the phrase means a biscuit made at home for a dog, often chosen instead of 'store-bought' treats for health or taste reasons.
