Homemade Easy 5 Ingredient Dog Treats
All I want for Christmas is …for you to do some good in this world 🫶🏻 and I literally could cry thinking about the possibility of so many shelters getting flooded with treats and love for the animals they care for this time of year. It’s not expensive, it’s not time consuming, and if you have littles this is a fantastic opportunity to involve them.
5 ingredients: natural peanut butter (no xylitol), banana, whole wheat flour, milled flax, and a tiny amount of coconut oil for softness.
When you donate make sure to include an ingredient list for the shelter so if any pups have dietary needs they can be sure to take proper precautions. 🤍
Happy holidays and see you back here tomorrow for Day 11 of the Herby Advent series where we make a new recipe together! 🥰
The full recipe for this is available right now on theherbyeater.co

Making homemade dog treats is a delightful and meaningful way to share love with our furry friends during the holiday season and beyond. The beauty of this recipe lies not only in its simplicity—with just five wholesome ingredients—but also in its versatility and health benefits. Natural peanut butter is a favorite in dog treats because it provides healthy fats and protein, but it is crucial to use peanut butter free of xylitol, a sweetener that is toxic to dogs. Bananas add a natural sweetness and are packed with essential vitamins like potassium and fiber, which support digestion and heart health. Whole wheat flour offers a good source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, helping to sustain energy levels. Milled flaxseed is a fantastic addition, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants that help maintain a shiny coat and support joint health. Adding a small amount of coconut oil not only improves the texture, making treats soft and chewy, but also contributes antimicrobial properties and healthy medium-chain triglycerides. When preparing treats to donate to shelters, transparency about ingredients is key to ensure each pup’s dietary needs are respected—this truly embodies responsible pet care. This also allows shelter staff to avoid allergens or irritants. Involving children in baking these treats can be an educational and rewarding experience, teaching them about nutrition, compassion, and community service. Plus, it creates lasting memories and encourages kindness toward animals. For pet owners and animal lovers looking for simple, heartwarming ways to celebrate holidays or everyday moments with their dogs, these dog treats are an excellent option. They strike the perfect balance between health, safety, taste, and ease of preparation, making homemade dog treats a joyful activity for everyone involved.
