Ingredients for No-Bake Carrot Peanut Butter Dog Treats
- 1 cup mashed carrots
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it does NOT contain xylitol)
- 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
Instructions
Add the mashed carrots and peanut butter to a mixing bowl.
Mix well until fully combined.
Gradually add the oats to the mixture, stirring until all the oats are coated.
Roll the dough into small balls, your hands will get messy, but your dog will love the result!
Place the peanut butter carrot dog treat balls on a cookie sheet.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Most importantly, give one to your dog and watch their tail wag with joy!
Tips
If using baby food for the mashed carrot, ensure it’s plain with no added ingredients. I like to use Gerber stage 2 foods, each container is just under half a cup.
Choose a creamy peanut butter without added sugars or artificial sweeteners, your dog won’t miss the sugar, and it’s much healthier.
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
The best part about homemade dog treats is that you can adjust their size based on how big your dog is. Make the treats smaller for small dogs. Larger dogs can have larger treats (though there is nothing wrong with giving them small treats too).
Always consult your vet before introducing new foods, especially if your dog has food allergies or dietary restrictions.
Storage and Shelf Life
These no-bake treats must be stored in the refrigerator, as they contain fresh ingredients.
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container or bag.
If frozen, allow treats to thaw before serving them to your dog.
Final Thoughts
Making your own homemade dog treats is a simple and rewarding way to give your dog a healthy snack.
With just a few wholesome ingredients and no need to turn on the oven, these treats are a quick and easy way to show your dog some love.
Plus, you can store them in the fridge or freezer for a convenient grab-and-go treat.
