Who’s ready for a homemade dog treat that is both nutritious and oh-so-yummy? These Oat and Sun Butter Puppy Bites are the perfect snack for your furry friend. Not only are they easy to make, but they are packed with wholesome ingredients. Your pup will love these homemade treats.
Why These Treats Are Tail-Wagging Good
Tired of store-bought treats filled with questionable ingredients? Then it’s time to whip up a batch of these homemade dog treats. Here are four reasons why your furry friend will love them.
- Simple Ingredients. Made with just a few wholesome ingredients like oatmeal and Sun Butter, these treats are perfect for pups of all sizes. Less is always more, especially when it comes to our furry friends’ diets.
- Allergy-Friendly. Using Sun Butter over peanut butter keeps these treats allergy-friendly for those allergy-friendly homes. Peanut butter can be used if there are no peanut allergies in your home.
- Healthy Ingredients. Oatmeal is a great source of fiber, while Sun Butter provides healthy fats and protein.
- Easy to Make. No baking required! Just mix, shape, and refrigerate. Even the busiest pet parent can whip up a batch of these treats in no time.
Small Portions for Pups
Just like their human friends, the best treats should be enjoyed in moderation. While these treats are healthy, it’s important to feed furry friends in moderation. For smaller pups, a small bite-sized treat is perfect. Larger pups may need a slightly bigger treat. Feel free to double the recipe and shape the dough into larger treats and adjust the portion size accordingly.
