Homemade Dog Treats Ingredients

Disclaimer: Do not use peanut butter with xylitol, which is deadly for dogs!

For these very simple treats, you will only need 3 ingredients. Super easy!

1 cup old fashioned oats

1/3 cup pumpkin

1/4 cup all natural peanut butter

A whole lot of love–okay that’s technically 4 ingredients 🙂

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Add oats to a food processor and blend to make flour. Some lumps are alright. In a bowl, add the processed oats, pumpkin, and peanut butter. Combine until dough forms.

Roll out dough with rolling pin and cut shapes with cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.

Cool on wire rack.

Place in an airtight container and store in refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. If your dog lets them last that long, “wink, wink”!

Enjoy!
