The PetCot Company: Homemade Dog Treats for Your Furry Friend

If your dog is like most, there's nothing they love more than a tasty treat! From the dog treats you buy at the store, to the spoonful of peanut butter you give in bribery, there are many of these things that can get your dogs tail wagging. While it's easy to buy treats, sometimes it's nice to "treat" your pup to something a little more special, and homemade! Here are a few recipes that look especially delicious, and we think fido will think so as well.

Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats

Recipe from Munchkins and Military

1 1/2 cups uncooked Oatmeal
1 large Banana
1/2 cup Peanut Butter

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Using a food processor or blender, grind your oats until they're powder.
In a bowl, beat together the banana and peanut butter until smooth. A few small chunks of banana here and there is ok. The dough should stick together, but shouldn't be sticky.
Reserve about a tablespoon of ground oatmeal and pour the rest into the banana peanut butter mixture and mix until combined.
Dust your surface with the reserved ground oatmeal and roll your dough to about a 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut into desired shapes and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake treats for approximately 15 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
Cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to a week.
