Your beautiful Fur Soul is thanking you for taking the time to make some healthy treats. Now, take a few minutes to enjoy a cup of lavender or chamomile tea for yourself, while hes waiting for those cookies to cool!
How to Make Lavender Tea
Pour 1 cup (250 mL) of water over 1/2 teaspoon of those loose lavender buds, and let it steep for a few minutes. Cuddle with your dog and enjoy!We dont recommend lavender tea if youre pregnant or breastfeeding.
How to Make Chamomile Tea
Pour 1 cup (250 mL) of water over 1/2 teaspoon of those loose chamomile flowers, and let it steep for a few minutes. Cuddle with your dog and enjoy!Hint: For my anxious dog clients, I like to leave a bowl of cool, diluted chamomile tea out in a separate bowl. Use the recipe for chamomile tea but instead of one cup of boiled water, use 4 cups. Leave about 1/2 cup of cooled tea out in a separate bowl for anxious dogs to self-medicate throughout the day.
Pair with a Crystal Pet Pendant to Soothe Anxiety!
To help your dogs anxiety even more, add the power of crystals with the beauty of bling with a Healing Crystal Pet Pendant!

Do you have anxiety too? Gift sets are available for dogs and pet parents (Crystal Pet Pendant and matching Crystal Bracelet).
Crystals may pose a choking hazard for some dogs. Monitor use & cleanse crystals often.

Peanut Butter Lavender Dog Biscuits
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, lavender, egg, salt and milk. Use a whisk to combine until smooth.
Add the 2 cups whole-wheat flour. Combine. It is best to use your hands to bring the dough together. Place dough on a flour-dusted work area and knead lightly until smooth. Dough should be smooth but not sticky. Knead a little additional flour into the dough if needed. Let rest 10 minutes.
Lightly flour a work area. Divide dough in half. Roll out one half to a thickness of inch. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and place on one of the prepared pans. You can put the scraps together to roll out additional biscuits. Repeat with remaining dough half and cookie sheet.
Bake in preheated oven 12 to 14 minutes. Larger-size biscuits will take a little longer to bake. The biscuits will be lightly browned on the bottom but still a little springy on top. Turn oven off. Let biscuits cool in the oven, with the oven door open slightly, 45 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
3-ingredient homemade dog treats made with old-fashioned rolled oats, natural peanut butter, and banana. Perfect for your pups and human-friendly, too!
Hello!
This post is a little different but if you live with a furry friend or see one on the regular then theyre going to love it so you should stick around.
Its Harpers third birthday today so I thought we should celebrate!
For the past three years Ive been making her these super simple baked dog treats to ring in her big day.
Each year I have to dig it up the recipe to make and share, so Im finally sharing here so none of us lose it ever again!
Its hard to forget, because these biscuits are done in under 30 minutes with clean pantry ingredients.
You just need peanut butter, banana, and oatmeal to make these 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats for a happy pup.
And if youre so inclined, theyre absolutely human-friendly too, for a lower sugar cookie snack!
What is it about peanut butter that dogs LOVE so much?
If theres PB on a spoon in the open dishwasher, Harper makes a beeline for it, licking and lapping until I shut the door closed and scold her.
When friends come over and Harper *wont stop* begging for attention, the only solution is tucking a heaping spoonful of peanut butter into the center of a Kong for Harper to riddle over for hours to come.
Or at least 20 minutes.
Anyway, I get it, Harper.
Peanut butter is delicious particularly when baked into cookies!
What ingredients are dog-friendly?
I get asked a lot if Harper eats a vegan diet.
The short answer is no.
But guys, she sure does love peanut butter, banana, and oats.
She takes after her momma.
She doesnt, however, love greens, no matter how much I will her to pick up the spinach and kale that falls to the floor during my recipe shoots.
(I mean, whats the point if they cant double up as your vacuum cleaner?! I KID.)
The long answer is that I want her be able to eat all of the things that growing healthy pups need.
Just because she isnt plant-based doesnt mean I dont check out the ingredients that go into her food, making sure she has clean options in her bowl, too!
These treats are the kind of reward you can feel good placing in your dogs bowl (or on their snout if youve watched our circus act on Instagram).
What You Need to Make 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Lets start with our quality of ingredients.
Harper had digestive troubles as a puppy, and in the beginning she had to eat a special food to heal her tummy.
Ever since then, Im cautious about what we give her and what quantity.
With these cookies, I made sure the ingredients are 100% dog safe and friendly!
You need:
- super ripe banana (the riper the better!)
- natural peanut butter (no added oils, sugars, preservatives, or flavoring, please!)
- gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats (or you can sub oat flour, instead!)
I opted to make my own oat flour for this recipe, but you can also buy store-bought oat flour to eliminate using the blender.
Thats it! No added sugars, no rising agents, no oils, no gluten, no surprises.
How to Make Homemade Dog Treats
The method is simple you just smash everything together in a large mixing bowl until you have a workable pliable peanut butter-y dough.
Depending on the size of your banana(s), you may need to add a little extra peanut butter (say 1-2 TBSP) to add more moisture to the batter.
You want to add more peanut butter if youre dough if dry and crumbly dont worry, your pup will thank you later.
Next you roll the dough out on a floured surface or a large sheet of parchment paper.
I didnt measure, but Id say 1/4 thick dough is about what to aiming for.
How to cut your treats into fun shapes
Now heres the fun part!
We cut the dough into cookie cutter shapes I love these bones shapes in different sizes!
If youre in a hurry, you can skip the cookie cutting altogether and instead roll the dough into 1 balls and flatten with your hands to make a totally respectable circular treat.
Im guessing your pup wont care what shape theyre in but I, of course, am partial to the bone shapes for presentation!
Its all too easy to over-bake these treats, so watch them closely around the 15 minute mark.
The cookies are done when golden brown underneath.
They may seem fragile to the touch, but they firm up when outside the oven for a few minutes.
Make sure to allow them to cool completely before serving to yourself or your furry friend!
Why Make 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
These 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats are the perfect clean dog treat to spoil your pup!
Theyre ideal to make as a homemade gift to a dog-lover for a birthday or seasonal holiday!
They keep for several weeks refrigerated and for one week at room temp.
If you want to make for multiple pooches, simply double or triple the recipe for treats for days.
When I make them for Harper I like to make a huge batch and save the cookies in the fridge for weeks to come.
She loves it!
These cookies are also totally human-friendly if youre looking for a lower sugar peanut-butter banana snack cookie.
Make a batch for meal prep and you and your pup can duke it out for the last peanut butter banana treat.
