These homemade peanut butter dog biscuits will become your dog's favorite treat! My little guy cannot get enough of them. This is a great recipe that anyone can make!

Tucker has been having a lot of health problems lately, one that involves his booty.

His vet suggested that I put him on a high-fiber diet, meaning I need to change his dog food out for senior food.

How to Make Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Peanut butter dog biscuits

These peanut butter treats are vet-approved and only use simple ingredients that are already approved for your furry family members. This simple dog treat recipe is so easy and such a good idea that anyone can do it. We even make homemade dog birthday cakes for them as well.

First off, you are going to need a set of bone cookie cutters. I found these on Amazon and it comes in 3 sizes — large, medium, and small. If you don't have the bone cutters, you can use a pizza cutter and cut them out into small squares instead.

Since Tucker is a small guy, I used the small one for his bones.

Making the dough takes just a few minutes to mix up. Use a food processor to make the dough quickly. Then, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out between 1/4″ or 1/2″ thick for it to turn out perfectly.

Cut them out with the bone-shaped cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.

It took me about 30 minutes to make a whole jar full of bones for Tucker. The shelf life for these bones last about 2 months if kept in the fridge or an airtight container. But if I know my sweet fur baby, I will need to make a second batch before then.

They brown up nice and are crunchy enough to help clean your dog's teeth as well. Just make sure to let them cool to room temperature before feeding them to your dog.

Since I keep them in the fridge and Tucker does not like his bones cold, I lay out a couple in the morning when I first wake up. Then, when he is ready for a bone, I give him one and he runs to his rug and lays down to eat it.

These easy peanut butter dog treats are perfect for the dog who is picky and won't eat bagged treats very often. Plus — if you already have all the ingredients to make these, it is a low-budget snack for your poochie.

For this recipe you need —

  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree (You could also sub this out for sweet potatoes instead)
  • 1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter (you can also use regular creamy peanut butter — just watch for added sugars)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour (whole wheat is a better choice than all-purpose flour)

Place the treats on the baking sheet. Bake the treats at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Be careful with the brands of peanut butter you choose. Make sure it does not contain xylitol or weird artificial sweeteners.

Is it just me, or the nutrition label is incomplete??? It ends with 3g of what??? Also at top it says it yields 40 treats, on nutrition label info it says 24 treats. Is the nutrition label for one of the 40 or one of the 24 treats?

For some reason, the nutrition labels are off sometimes. I will see if I can get it to be more accurate. I can usually yield around 40 treats for my dog. It just depends on the size of the cutter you use.

I am kicking around the idea of selling homemade all natural dog treats but have read on line all the hoops you have to jump through and get licensed...ect, ect. Just wondering if you had to do all that? I only want to sell locally at different craft shows. Thank you.

I did not sell mine but in Kentucky as long as it does not need to be refrigerated, you do not need a license to sell anything. You just have to pay a $50 fee.

I made these treats for my daughter's newly adopted rescue dogs. They love them. This was their, "Welcome to the family" gift from me. Will be making these for their Christmas stockings this year.
