Why Choose Homemade Dog Treats?
There’s peace of mind in knowing exactly what’s going into your dog’s food. With just three simple ingredients—bananas, dog-safe peanut butter, and a little plain yogurt—you can whip up a nutritious treat free from preservatives, artificial sweeteners (like xylitol, which is toxic to dogs), or unnecessary fillers.
Ingredients:
-
2 ripe bananas
-
1/2 cup dog-safe peanut butter (check the label for xylitol-free!)
-
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions:
-
Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.
-
Add peanut butter and yogurt to the banana mash and mix thoroughly.
-
Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays.
-
Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until solid.

Pop them out and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.

Tips and Variations
-
Add a few blueberries or shredded carrots for extra nutrients.
-
Use a silicone paw or bone-shaped mold to make them extra cute.
