Frequently Asked Questions
Are these no-bake dog treats safe for all dogs?
Yes! As long as your dog isn't allergic to any of the ingredients (like oats, peanut butter, or banana), these treats are generally safe. Always use xylitol-free peanut butter and consult your vet if your dog has dietary restrictions.
Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?
Absolutely. Quick oats work just fine! They’ll make the texture a little softer, which is great for senior dogs or puppies.
How long do these treats last?
Fridge: 5–7 days in an airtight container
Freezer: Up to 2 months – just thaw a few minutes before serving
Can I use frozen bananas instead of fresh?
Yes, but make sure they’re thawed and mashed before mixing. Frozen bananas can make the dough more moist, so you may need to add extra oats for balance.
Can I add other ingredients to the mix?
Definitely! Try:
A tablespoon of pumpkin puree
A pinch of cinnamon (in moderation)
Shredded carrots or apples
A sprinkle of chia seeds
Make sure anything you add is dog-safe and doesn’t contain sugar, salt, or spices like nutmeg.
How many treats can my dog have per day?
These are healthy, but still treats! 1–2 per day for small dogs, 2–4 for medium to large dogs is a good rule of thumb. Adjust based on their size, weight, and daily calorie intake.
Do I need a mold or can I hand-shape the treats?
No mold needed! You can:
Roll into bite-sized balls
Flatten and cut into shapes
Press into ice cube trays or silicone molds for fun shapes
Is it okay to give these treats to puppies?
Yes, as long as they’re already eating solid foods. These treats are soft and gentle on little puppy teeth!
