Blueberry Banana Oat Dog Treats

It started with a quiet morning in the kitchen and Piper, my energetic golden doodle, resting her chin on my foot like she always does when she’s hoping for a taste. I was baking muffins when I noticed I had extra blueberries and an overripe banana. Piper looked up at me with those expectant eyes, and I thought—why not make something just for her? No preservatives. No weird fillers. Just wholesome ingredients I could trust.

Ever since then, it’s become our little weekend tradition. She gets excited the moment I grab the mixing bowl, and honestly, I do too.
