These simple and easy to make Peanut Butter Banana Yogurt Dog Treats are a great way for your pup to cool down! Budget-friendly and healthy for your dog.
Our poor little dog, Pearl, has to smellthe wonderful things we cook all the time. It must be torture to have all those wonderfulsmells penetrating your nasal cavities knowing that you won’t get any.
Yes, life for Pearl is pretty tough. You should definitely feel bad for her.
Sometimes she even has to go on trips with us and stay at nicehotels, or ring in the New Year on the Queen Mary.
Like a good mom, I can’t talk about her without showing a baby photo. Just look at that lil’ face!
Because she’s such a good girl despite having it so rough, I thought she deserved some Cooking With Janica recipes too.
I like to keep dog treat recipes very simple. This is one of my favorites as it has only 3 ingredients.

How To Make Yogurt Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
Making them is pretty simple, you just throw all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend.
Then fill up a silicone mold (I use this one) or an ice cube tray and freeze for two hours.
How simple is that?!
Because these dog treats are frozen instead of baked, they are perfect for summertime. You don’t have to turn on the oven, and your pup gets a tasty treat that cools him/her down.
I hope your furry friend enjoys these treats as much as Pearl does!

I just went to the store and bought a package of 4 and paid almost $5.00. We have a husky and Jack Russell. I’m definitely making these. I just need to get some small containers.
Can you substitute almond butter for peanut butter? My dog is allergic to peanut butter.

Im sure you can. Or even sun butter. I know people who have added dried oats to this recipe, dried cranberries, even tossing in blueberries.

My dogs are LOVING these! I put them in muffin tins with cupcake liners. I put them in the deep freeze. After 45 minutes I added a dog biscuit sticking out like popsicle stick.

Tyson 🐶 says YUM! He sits at the freezer now licking his lips whenever I’m in kitchen haha. I halved the recipe and used my homemade plain yogurt & peanut butter with half a frozen banana. I put it all into my Ninja smoothie maker – it worked great and the to-go lid make pouring into the molds easy! Thx for the recipe- can’t wait to share with all the other pups at the lake this summer!!

If the Greek yogurt was plain and free of xylitol it should be fine.

We have made these several times and our dogs love them but have never done the blender thing. Just mixed by hand. Will definitely be trying that.

Just made these today for my sweet Luna Faye she’s a 7 month old Golden-doodle and she says 5 STARS! I make my own peanut better (so easy and saves $$$ buying it) and always keep really RIPE bananas in my freezer along with frozen blueberries. It’s better to make all doggie treats for our furry babies Thanks for sharing this recipe
Dogs love the combination of peanut butter and bananas, and these treats are a perfect blend of both. Mash up a ripe banana, mix it with a spoonful of peanut butter, and add some oats for texture. Shape the mixture into small balls and bake until golden brown. Your pup won't be able to resist these drool-worthy treats!
Cut the banana into small, 1/4-inch thick pieces and give them to your dog like small treats. Make fruit smoothies from blended frozen banana pieces, along with other dog-safe fruits like strawberries and blueberries, plus some sugar-free—and xylitol-free—plain yogurt.
Plain Greek-style yogurt is the healthiest yogurt for your dog, and there are a ton of tasty additions you can throw in that your dog will enjoy. Added fresh fruits, veggies, or even peanut butter will give yogurt an extra health boost of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help keep your dog in good shape.
Dog treats should only be used as rewards for good behavior and make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories. So, for example, if you have a small dog that needs 400 calories a day, and the treats you give them are 20 calories each, then they can have two of them per day.
Dogs can eat Greek yogurt, too. Greek yogurt is considered healthier than standard yogurt because it contains more of those beneficial live cultures. While both Greek yogurt and regular yogurt are made from the same basic ingredient (milk), Greek yogurt is thicker, creamier, contains less sugar, and has more protein.
Can most dogs eat yogurt? Yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they should. While yogurt is not toxic to dogs, many canines might have trouble digesting it because it contains lactose. And plenty of pups have trouble with foods that contain lactose, such as milk.
Delaney recommends that pet parents choose plain, unflavored, non-or low-fat yogurt. Both Greek and regular yogurt are fine for healthy dogs, he says, but warns that pet owners should choose a yogurt brand carefully, as some types contain ingredients that can be harmful to pets.
Dogs can eat – and many really enjoy – peanut butter. But beware, some peanut butter brands contain an ingredient called xylitol, which is toxic to dogs and even eating small amounts can be fatal. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is often used in foods to keep the product sugar-free.
Just make sure to avoid peanut butter with Xylitol, a sugar substitute found in lower or sugar-free products. Xylitol is the only ingredient in peanut butter that's bad for dogs. It doesn't matter the brand, if you give your dog peanut butter without Xylitol, then your furry friend can enjoy it.
Dogs should never eat any yogurt containing xylitol (also known as birch sugar or birch sap), a common sweetener in human foods. Even a small amount of xylitol-sweetened yogurt is toxic for dogs and may lead to liver failure because it accumulates in the liver tissue.

Apples. An apple a day doesn't necessarily keep the veterinarian away, and a whole apple would be a bit much for a dog anyway, but they are good for dogs just like they are people! ...
If you have homemade treats with meat in them, it's important to note that 3-4 days are all they're good for when stored in the fridge. Baked dog treats with peanut butter can last a bit longer when chilled – about a week is good for these.
So, how much should I charge for homemade dog treats? Homemade dog treats sell for between $15 and $25. They should be priced based on how much it costs you to produce them including the ingredients, packaging, and other selling fees. There should be a minimum of 30% profit margin on homemade dog treats.
Homemade dog treats have benefits beyond being budget-friendly. With DIY treats, you know exactly what foods your dog is eating. Along with being free from harmful ingredients, homemade dog snacks can make great training treats, especially when made in smaller sizes.
Bleaching doesn't do anything to improve the quality of the flour for your dog, so if you're going to buy all purpose flour, definitely go for the unbleached kind. In general, we recommend staying away from all purpose flour for your dog.
