Treat Your Pup to Homemade Goodies 🦴

Hey there,

This week, we’re diving into easy, DIY dog treat recipes that are healthy, simple, and tail-waggingly delicious. Plus, we’ll share tips for storing your creations and ensuring they’re safe for your pup. Let’s get baking!

Pup-Approved Recipes

Peanut Butter Treats

• What you need: 1 cup of unsweetened peanut butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 egg, and 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour.

• How to make it: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients into a dough, roll it out, and cut into shapes. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
  

• Pro tip: Ensure your peanut butter is xylitol-free—this sweetener is toxic to dogs.

Frozen Yogurt Pupsicles

• What you need: Plain unsweetened yogurt, mashed banana, and a splash of water.

• How to make it: Mix the ingredients, pour into silicone molds (or ice cube trays), and freeze overnight.

• Pro tip: Add blueberries or small pieces of apple for an extra fruity twist!

Sweet Potato Chews

A healthy alternative to rawhide, these chewy treats are a great option for pups who love to gnaw.

• What you need: 1 large sweet potato.

• How to make it: Slice the sweet potato into thin strips, bake at 250°F for 2–3 hours, flipping halfway through, until dried but still chewy.

• Pro tip: Store in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to two weeks.

Storing and Sharing Your Homemade Treats

Storage tips: 

Keep baked treats in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage. Frozen treats should stay in the freezer and be served directly.

Sharing responsibly: 

Homemade treats are great, but remember to introduce new foods gradually to avoid upsetting your dog’s tummy.

Homemade dog treats are a labor of love that your pup will definitely appreciate. Plus, they’re healthier, more affordable, and totally customizable!
