Peanut Butter Dog Treats

This is a great recipe for peanut butter dog treats. Since we know most dogs love peanut butter, this should quickly become a favorite. I like the fact that this is simple, only takes a few minutes to prepare and is good enough to eat yourself as shown in the video. To make it a little easier, I have provided some conversions for the ingredients since some are in metric units.

NOTE: In the video he mentions using sunflower oil, but doesn’t actually say how much is used. Based on other similar recipes, it appears to be about 1/3 of a cup.

15 mls of Baking Powder is approximately 3 teaspoons
250 mls of Carob Chocolate Chips is approximately 1 cup *
60 mls of Honey is approximately 4 tablespoons

* If you can’t find Carob chocolate chips, use white chocolate. White chocolate is lower in theobromine which is not good for dogs. The darker the chocolate, the more theobromine it contains. Dogs metabolize theobromine much slower than humans so they can not consume the same amounts in proportion to a human. Don’t feed the whole batch of treats to your dog at one time. Use the following link to learn more about theobromine.

Remember that these are treats for you and your dog. They should never replace a normal, healthy diet. A treat is something special, feeding them constantly takes away from the bonus they add.
