Ever since I bought these cute little dog treat molds, I can’t seem to stop making him cute little treats in fun little shapes!

Treat-making a great activity with the little ones too, and these make fantastic gifts.

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.

Can Dogs Have Flour?

In short, yes. But flour can post an allergy to some dogs, and flour is certainly not a necessity in their diet, but rather is used as a binding agent in many treat recipes.

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

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months, removing them as you need them and letting them come to room temperature.

Dog Treats as Gifts:

  • These treats make fantastic gift ideas 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!)

  1. Go to dog treat.  Our dog loves these and easy to make…and I feel good about feeding them to him!

    • YAYYY I’m so happy to hear that Wendy! I know what you mean, I like making these and knowing exactly what my dog is eating! Thank you for taking the time to comment!

  2. Hi! My cockapoo (Mollie) absolutely loved these! Thanks for the recipe 😁! Going to make them for all the family dogs for Christmas! I was just wondering how long these last for if my freezing?
    Thanks again!
    Xx 

    • If not freezing* 

    • Hi Danielle! I’m so happy that your cockapoo loves these, (I used to have a cockapoo too! They are so sweet!!!) if not freezing, these are good for a few days left out, (just not too long because of the egg!) – you can always refrigerate them too! 🙂

  3. This looks like an awesome recipe and I have all the ingredients on hand. Instead of rolling the treats out, could I just shape them into small balls and flatten them with a fork? (Sort of like a peanut butter cookie?)

  4. I just made these and they are a HIT with my toy australian shepherd. She is usually pretty picky but she these right up! The recipe was super easy for this non-cooker also. Thanks.

    • Ps i also added blueberries to it

    • Hey Karen! I’m SOOOO happy to hear that, another happy doggie in the world! 😉 I absolutely love the idea of adding blueberries to it too, I’m definitely going to try that next time! 🙂 They are so good for them too 🙂

  5. These treats look so good. I think my pup will love them. Peanut butter AND banana. I already know they’re going to be a huge success.

  6. I’m so excited about this recipe! I’m getting married in September and am giving out treat bags for guests who have dogs. I’m hunting for some recipes to try out because I want to make home made treats! How many does on batch make? My little pup, Riley, will have a field day taste testing these!

    • Hi Ashlyn! What an adorable and unique idea for your wedding, (I wish I had thought of that!!) I’m so excited for your pup to try these, my childhood puppy was named Riley, I LOVE that name!! These make about 25 treats, I’ll update the recipe with that information. Have fun making them and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 🙂

  7. Have large German Shepherd, sensetive to a lot of different foods, these work, she sits in front of oven waiting!!!!

    • Hi Ann!!! Awwwww that is sooooo cute and so great to hear!! German Sheoharda are adorable, I’m so glad that she loves them!!! 😍

  8. I seriously can NOT believe that I wrote “flower”… I could die. Let’s pretend that didn’t happen! As for veggie treats, I don’t have any that are strictly veggie…. although I have some apple carrot treats, and you could leave out the apple part! Here is a link to my dog treats that I have! 🙂 https://thecozycook.com/dog-treats

  9. Could you give this treat frozen or does it need to be thawed out before given to a dog?

    • Hi Sonia!
      I’ve given small pieces to my dog frozen before and it’s been perfectly Okay! He is a small dog so I give him small pieces either way- but frozen should be fine as long as the pieces aren’t too big!

  10. What kind of oats quick or regular? Thank you.
