Dog Treats Without Peanut Butter Recipes

Wholesome snacks for sensitive pups – no PB needed

It was a lazy Saturday. Abby sat by the counter, waiting for her usual treat — one I always made with peanut butter.

But the jar was empty.

What I thought would be a small letdown turned into something unexpectedly special. I opened the fridge, grabbed some yogurt, mashed a banana, and stirred in rolled oats.

She loved it.

That tiny moment of “uh-oh” turned into a collection of our new favorite treats — and this blog is a love letter to those peanut-free wins.

Some of these treats were born from necessity. Others, from love.

But all of them started with the same intention:

To make my dog happy — with my own hands.

Abby doesn’t need a label or brand.
She just needs my time, attention, and a little something made from scratch.

And if that something doesn’t include peanut butter?

That’s okay.

Because what matters is everything else we put into it.
