Prebiotic Pup Treats
These baked treats are packed with flavors and textures pups love. Carrots add a little crunch, blueberries bring naturally fruity flavor, and applesauce creates a satisfying bite.
They are a fun choice for filling the treat jar, celebrating a pup's birthday, or sharing a homemade surprise with your favorite furry coworker.
just better.® Bark Biscuits
Peanut butter is the star of these cozy, cinnamon-scented biscuits. Applesauce and flaxseed round out the recipe, creating a homemade treat worthy of the most distinguished canine executive.
Cut them into dog bones, hearts, paw prints, or any shape that earns your pup’s approval.
Safety Reminder: Always choose peanut butter without xylitol. Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs, even in small amounts.

Woofberry Pupsicles
Cool, creamy, and bursting with blueberries, Woofberry Pupsicles are made for sunny afternoons and post-walk snack breaks.
Pour the mixture into dog-safe silicone molds, freeze until firm, and serve a pupsicle sized appropriately for your dog. Expect enthusiastic licking and possible freezer surveillance after your pup discovers where the extras are stored. 🫐🐾
Doggone Peanut Butter Bark
Doggone Peanut Butter Bark turns two pup favorites into one frosty treat. The creamy mixture freezes into a sheet you can break into pieces sized for your dog.
Keep a batch in the freezer for a special treat after a walk, bath, nail trim, or an exceptionally demanding shift on delivery driver watch.
Check the peanut butter label carefully before you begin. It must be free from xylitol and other ingredients that are unsafe for dogs.

Fiber-Rich Strawberry Banana Freezer Pops
This fruity recipe invites the entire family to treat time, including the pup!
Strawberries and bananas create a naturally sweet, creamy freezer pop that tastes like summer. Make full-size pops for the people and smaller, stick-free portions for your four-legged family members.
These are perfect for backyard afternoons, family gatherings, and those hot days when everyone deserves something cool.

A Few Tips Before Treat Time
Homemade pup treats should be served in portions appropriate for your dog’s size. Choose molds and pieces that reduce choking risk, supervise your pup during treat time, and count the fiber included in treats as part of their daily amount.
Introduce new foods gradually and make sure your dog always has access to fresh water. Check every ingredient label carefully, especially nut butters, yogurt, broth, and packaged foods. Avoid xylitol, added sweeteners, and ingredients your veterinarian has advised against.
Every dog has individual nutritional needs. Consult your veterinarian before adding supplemental fiber or introducing a new homemade treat, especially if your dog has digestive concerns, food sensitivities, diabetes, or another health condition.

National Dog Month gives us one more reason to celebrate the dogs who fill our homes with love, laughter, and the occasional bit of mischief.
