I wish I was the #dogmom that whipped up dog treats every week and kept the cookie jar perfectly stocked all the time. But let’s be real, this girl ain’t no Martha Stewart. That’s alright. Every once in a while, usually when I make some candied bacon, I save a few pieces of bacon for these dog treats.
These guys are super easy to put together, just some flour, eggs, peanut butter and bacon. You can cut the treats into any shape, but I use these cookie cutters. I like that I can make any size, which is great when you make treats for a gift!
The one thing I do love about making these is seeing how excited our pup gets when he smells the bacon cooking. I may or may not throw him a little piece while I’m making the batter.
I will say it’s best for your dog if you use a natural peanut butter where the only ingredient is peanuts – or peanuts and salt. All the other stuff isn’t great for them, and I won’t make dog treats for my own or for anyone’s dog with extra oil added.
If you have concerns about ingredients, talk to your vet!
