5 SIMPLE DOG TREAT RECIPES

By: Sarah Lukemire

Let’s face it, dog treats can get pretty expensive and many of us (myself included) have dogs that deal with sensitivities or allergies to certain foods.

I began making homemade dog treats a couple years ago; and while I’m a big fan of making treats from scratch, I’m not a big fan of slaving over complicated recipes. All of the recipes you’ll find below are simple, grain-free and easily modified!

It’s almost as if our pups realize when I’m making a treat for them versus myself – they’ll be patiently eyeing me from start to finish! Plus, it’s a fun activity and once you have a couple base recipes, you can start modifying and creating your own version of treats.

This first idea is the perfect treat for a hot day – and who knows, your pup might even share this one with you!

1) Frozen Pupsicles

Ingredients:
¼ cup peanut butter (unsalted/no sugar added)
½ cup plain yogurt (I used 2% Greek)
1 ripe banana
1 teaspoon ground flax seed (optional)
Splash of unsweetened almond milk

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into ice cube trays or small bowls (I used Kong ice cube trays & the Bonz mini silicon tray)
Freeze until solid. Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften.
