As pet parents, we always want to pamper our fur babies and give them delicious treats. However, store-bought treats can be loaded with unhealthy ingredients and preservatives.

The good news is that you can easily make your own dog treats at home with natural and nutritious ingredients. Here are two simple recipes that your pooch will love:.

Recipe 1: Peanut Butter & Banana Treats

Ingredients.

1 ripe banana
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs)

Instructions.

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Mash the ripe banana in a mixing bowl.
Stir in the rolled oats and peanut butter until well combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Let the treats cool completely before serving them to your dog.

Your pup will love the combination of sweet banana and nutty peanut butter in these delicious treats. Plus, bananas are a great source of vitamins and fiber for dogs, and peanut butter provides healthy fats and protein.

Recipe 2: Chicken Jerky
