Irresistible Homemade Dog Peanut Butter Treats (Recipes)
So as we were sitting down after dinner the other night, our perky pooch sat on his haunches right in front of us with eyes that begged for a treat too! At that time I was very thankful that we had started making our own treats and biscuits for our pets. Doing this task ourselves allows us to know exactly what we were allowing our dogs to eat.
Luckily, I had just made another batch of his favorite treats the day before. I jumped up and headed to the refrigerator, with pooch right on my heels. I opened the tub and gave him one. Of course, I did grab a second one for him, how could I not, he is just so adorable!
I decided it was time to share with you the two recipes that I use when I make our baby his peanut butter treats. These really are so simple to make, they are easily changed up if you so desire. I do have a set of three different-sized bone-shaped cutters that I use. The totals will vary per batch, depending on which cutter you use. Also, your cooking times will vary per size and also by the crunch you want them to have.
For all the recipes you can use any cutters you would like! The size and servings would depend on that.

Benefits of Making Homemade Dog Treats at Home
Unfortunately, dogs are highly susceptible to food allergies, which is why we suggest making homemade dog treats. Dogs with a specific allergy will react when they ingest even a small amount of that allergen; most allergic reactions result in itching and scratching, but some can be life-threatening. By making your own dog treats at home, you can ensure that no artificial or chemical ingredients are present.
How Do I Choose The Right Dog Peanut Butter Recipe?
You can never go wrong with peanut butter. A bite of peanut butter will not only satisfy your dog’s sweet tooth, but it’ll also boost her energy for hours to come. Peanut butter is rich in B vitamins, minerals, and protein and helps maintain a healthy coat and skin. It’s a great source of calories if you have an active dog that needs to gain weight. All dogs love peanut butter; however, peanut allergies are very common in canines as well as humans.
