We have 2 black labs who love peanut butter so I make these for them quite frequently during the warmer months. They know that when we open the freezer there are treats inside for them!
Is Peanut Butter good for Dogs?
You’ll notice that this recipe calls for a smooth peanut butter. I recommend choosing a natural peanut butter and stay away from peanut butter containing xylitol.
Make sure that the peanut butter does not include chocolate either as neither xylitol and chocolate are not good for dogs.
Peanut butter can be a good source of protein and healthy fat for your pups. Just don’t give it all the time!
Here are some that are known to be good for dogs:
WHY BANANAS ARE GOOD FOR DOGS
Mack and Keira LOVE bananas!! In fact, veterinarians recommend these fruits to be served to your pups instead of fatty, salty treats because they contain good amounts of potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C.
You’ll want to feed in moderation, though, because these do contain sugar.

We have a family member with pb allergy, so cannot use pb in these dog snacks because the pups love to lick on us. If I leave it out, will it have the right consistency or is there a substitution I can use? Thanks.

Hi! Yes, you can substitute another butter like almond or sunflower butter and these should be just fine in consistency for your pup!
