Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats Recipe

You may have caught a glimpse of her in some other posts, but I want to officially introduce the newest member of our little family – Maddie, short for Madison (Wisconsin, duh!). We adopted a rescue puppy a few weeks ago and her energy and curiosity ensures there is never a dull moment! She just turned three months and is a Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepard mix. Adopting her is one of the best things we’ve ever done. We’re so proud to have rescued a dog instead of getting one from a breeder.

It’s amazing to compare the photos from our first days with her to now – she’s gained 7 pounds in the last month and is definitely starting to look more like a grown up dog. We think she’ll be around 60 pounds when she’s done growing, meaning that she’s going to be quite a handful in a few months when she’s adult sized but still acts like a puppy! She loves to cuddle and I love to catch her when she falls asleep with her head on Pat’s lap. Cuteness overload.

Because we live so close to Ocean Beach, we often take Maddie there. She’s getting braver when it comes to chasing waves and meeting other dogs. We came across this enormous German Shepard/Mastiff mix a few mornings ago. Although he is clearly a gentle giant, I have to admit when he came galloping toward us, my heart caught in my chest. Maddie was completely unfazed and chased him across the beach, roughhousing with him in the sand.

“Parenting” a puppy has definitely been a learning experience for Pat and I. I tend to be a strict disciplinarian who makes rules and doesn’t usually waver from them. Pat on the other hand is guided more by feeling (“but she’s so cute – I just had to let her on the couch!”). Most of the time it makes for a nice balance. 🙂

Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats

There are tons of great recipes for dog treats on the internet. In case you’re looking for some good recipes, I’ve created a Pinterest board to organize my inspiration. This recipe for homemade peanut butter dog biscuits was definitely a hit. They remind me of an oatmeal peanut butter cookie without salt. Safe for human consumption, although not the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten! Maddie goes crazy for them though! They were so easy to make I’ll definitely be making them again.

    Awwh, Maddie is so lovely!
    I’m loving this dog biscuits idea. My dog gave birth to nine puppies recently, so I’m going to bookmark it for later. I’m sure the pups will love this! The board is lovely too, I followed them all! 😉

    Just clicked over from RFFMBT and I had to comment on your puppy! We have a 3.5 year old lab/Aussie or border collie mix. We got him in December from a rescue. He’s a hoot and LOVES to fetch. Also I was just thinking this morning that I should bake him some sort of peanut butter dog treat because he LOVES peanut butter and I love to bake!

    Congrats on the recent wedding, and have fun with your pup!

    Maddie is such a cutie! She seems to love those doggie treats. Also, her and the German Shepard seem to be great friends.

    She is so precious! I am looking forward to rescuing a pup when I get out of college. I support it so much more than getting one from a breeder! Love it!

    Lots of beaches are banning dogs:( Nice to see that San Fan is still Great. I haven’t tried the bar recipe yet. Every other recipe i looked up was a page of instructions. So, I’m giving this one a try.

    Having the ocean in your backyard is wonderful for Maddie. I don’t know a single dog that doesn’t enjoy that environment!

    I just tried this recipe out for my dog Tank (he’s a labrador/rottweiler mix) who is also a rescue and he absolutely loved them. Granted, he loves anything with peanut butter, but anytime he sees me bringing out the ingredients to make these treats, he loses his mind. Thanks so much for the recipe and I can’t wait to check out your pinterest board.

    yayyayaya I’ve been looking for good homemade recipes for my pooch. Surprisingly enough, he prefers EVERthing homemade. I had to feed him grilled chicken! I’m always looking for bomb pet-friendly ones

    PLEASE make sure you use a natural peanut butter. Some peanut butters now have artificial sweetners in them and they are TOXIC to your dogs.

    Congratulations on your new puppy. She is so cute and seems to be lost of fun. I’m a volunteer at a Humane Society and nothing makes me happier than to see one of our dogs get adopted. Thanks to you both for choosing that route. You will reap plenty of rewards.

    Can’t wait to try these peanut butter treats so I can take them to work for our precious dogs there. Thanks again for the recipe.
