Almost 10 years ago when I started dog training at Camp Bow Wow in Coppell (a suburb of the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex), I decided I wanted to give the pups graduating my classes something to celebrate their achievement. I didn't want something store bought, I wanted it to be homemade - from me. After some searching I found this easy and simple recipe on the Dog Treat Kitchen website.
How do I know that this is every dog's favorite treat recipe? Because I've made probably over a hundred double batches over the years and given them out to every graduating pup for almost 250 classes and they are always a hit! I've even had a few pup parents ask me for the recipe so they can make them for their own dogs.
Everyday Ingredients Make These Peanut Butter Dog Treats Easy To Make Anytime
One of the key factors for the success of this dog treat recipe is the fact that pretty much everyone will have the simple ingredients list in their pantry: flour, rolled oats and peanut butter (smooth or chunky) - and then just add water! The recipe calls for whole wheat flour, which I've found makes the treats an even darker shade of brown, but any type of flour will do. If your dog is sensitive to wheat, you can use a gluten-free flour like oat or rice flour or a pre-mixed gluten-free flours such as Bob's Red Mill or GF Jules. What these latter options offer is a mixture of gluten free flours with various starches and xantham gum for texture and palatability.
