  Peanut Butter Balls for Pups: A No-Bake Treat Ready in 30 Minutes A homemade dog treat doesn’t need an oven or a long ingredient list. These peanut butter balls for pups mix up in about 10 minutes, then chill until firm. You’ll need oat flour, plain pumpkin purée, and peanut butter, plus a careful look at the peanut butter label.

Make Peanut Butter Balls for Pups with Three Simple Ingredients Gather the ingredients You’ll need just three ingredients for this no-bake dog treat: 1 cup oat flour ½ cup plain pumpkin purée ¼ cup xylitol-free peanut butter Choose plain pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.

   Cool Down Your Pup: The Complete Safe and Healthy Pet Ice Cream Recipe Summer heat can be tough on our four-legged friends. Watching your dog pant and seek out the coolest spot on the floor is a reminder that they need help regulating their body temperature.

Homemade Sweet Potato Dog Chewy Treats/Sweet Potato Jerky

Homemade Sweet Potato Dog Chewy Treats/Sweet Potato Jerky To make this dog treat recipe, you'll need sweet potatoes, a sharp knife, a dehydrator, and time. The hardest part is slicing the sweet potatoes. For this recipe, I do not peel the potatoes, because the peels have so much goodness in them for my fur baby.

Ingredients: Sweet potatoes (the amount depends on how many trays that you have to fill) Ins...
