Homemade Dog Treats Ingredients
- Peanut butter - smooth peanut butter

Homemade dog treats are open to a multitude of variations, so you can keep making new flavors of treats for your dog. Try swapping out the peanut butter for pumpkin, banana, sweet potatoes, or even baby food.
DIY dog treats are easy to freeze, so it’s easy to make your pup a double batch and ensure you always have some on hand. Dog treats can be frozen for up to eight months.
If you have a senior dog you can break the finished treats into smaller pieces to make it easier for them to eat them. You can also put the treats in a bowl with a little water to soften them up.
