Homemade Dog Treats

I've had dogs for 10 years now and throughout that time I've made several homemade treats for them. Carrot cakes, oatmeal cookies, cheese puffs, but my absolute favorite is the Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits. They're easy, healthy, natural, crunchy and taste great. As a matter of fact, when LP and I made them for Lexie's birthday a few weeks ago, we ate 4 of them drizzled with a little honey!

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuit (original recipe from Sacramento & Co.)

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk (I used 2%)

Mix dry ingredients. Mix milk and peanut butter, separately. Combine. Roll out to 1/4" thickness and cut shapes. Prepare cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Bake at 385 degrees for about 20 minutes. Cool and store airtight in the refrigerator. Best if allowed to come to room temp first.

Maggie thanks you for the cat shaped cookie she got on Halloween!

Unrelated to the cookies, there were 3 throw ups on the floor when I got home from work yesterday. That steam cleaner has already paid for itself.

My daughter's Girl Scout troop just made dog treats yesterday for a trip to the Humane Society. When she came talking about them, I was thinking what a fun faimly activity that would be. Your timing for this post couldn't have been better.

Thanks for sharing!

Again with the, "where do you find the time?" And poor Koda, he got the wrong family.

What a fun idea. When we had our dog Sadie we would always by her chocolate dunked (safe for doggies) doggy treats from the chocholate store by our house and she loved them.

I will have to try those for my two pups! And thanks for stopping by the other day (I think it's been a long time--sorry!) I have gotten so behind in commenting! Your dogs are so cute! My husband would be jealous--he loves huskies!

I wonder if Ginger would like something homemade? Think that will keep her from making a mad dash out the door everytime it opens?
