Check out all of my Homemade Dog Treats! How rewarding is it to make little dog treats for a little pup in your life?! I’ve been making these treats for years, both for my own dog and for my friend’s dogs. They have everything your little pup could want. Let’s get into some questions that you may have about the ingredients!
Best Kind of Peanut Butter for dogs:
All-natural peanut butter without added salt or sugar is best for dogs. Do not use light or sugar-free peanut butter, as those may have artificial sweeteners (such as xylitol) which is toxic to dogs. I like to use Teddy Smooth All-Natural Peanut Butter, which can also commonly be found in grocery stores.
Best Kind of Flour for Dogs
If possible, I recommend using Almond flour, because it’s healthy and easy to find at the grocery store.
Healthier Flour Alternatives for Dog Treats:
Grain: Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, Oat, Pea, Quinoa, Rice, Sorghum Non-Grain: Chickpea, Coconut, Hazelnut, Lentil, Potato
Can Dogs Have Milk?
Just like people, some dogs can digest milk easily and with no issues. Other dogs have trouble, or may be lactose intolerant. This resource goes into greater detail about that. In short, be cautious about introducing new foods to your dog for the first time, and always consult a vet when in doubt.
Dog Treats as Gifts:
These treats make fantastic gift ideas! These are the dog treat molds that I used in this recipe. These are even smaller treat molds and are perfect for giving in these little canisters! Treat-making and gift-giving is also a great activity for little ones, (with your assistance of course!)
