Your pets may not be able to have chocolate, but that doesn't mean they can't have a treat of their own! These 5 pet treat ideas are super simple to make or find and your pet is sure to love them!

1. Frozen Peanut Butter & Yogurt Hearts For Dogs

You'll need:

• Plain Organic Greek Yogurt
• Natural Peanut Butter
• Heart Shaped Ice Tray (Or a Normal Ice Tray)
• A Spoon

Directions:

1. Spoon a small amount of peanut butter into the base of the ice tray. You can heat up the peanut butter first to make it easier to spoon in.
2. Next up, dollop spoonfuls of the yogurt to cover the peanut butter in each mold.
3. Press yogurt down into the molds using the back of your spoon to make sure they're packed. This will help seal the peanut butter and yogurt together in the final treat.
4. Pop the tray into the freezer for at least 4 hours
5. Once frozen, remove tray and pop out individual frozen treats and let your dog enjoy!

 

2. Tuna Baked Hearts For Cats

Directions:

1. Open the tuna and drain the water. Your cat may come running at the smell of that tasty fish!
2. Mold the tuna into small hearts with your hands. You can also use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to press them out if you have one.
3. Place them on a baking sheet about an inch apart. You can add a layer of tinfoil to help prevent them from sticking to the sheet.
4. Put them in the oven at a low temperature until they are warm. The timing will vary depending on whether you kept the tuna at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
5. Take them out when they’re done, and place one or two on a pretty plate for your cat to enjoy. Just make sure they’re not too hot when you dish them out.

 

3. Sweetheart Dog Treats

Your dog will fall head over heels for these heart-shaped biscuits, which have the taste of sweet honey, tasty bananas, and spicy cinnamon. Before making, be sure to double-check the yogurt is xylitol-free.

 

Ingredients:

1 t. cinnamon

1/2 C. oat flour

1/4 C. rice flour

1 C. wheat flour

1/4 C. water

1/2 C. plain yogurt

1/4 C. pureed banana

1 T. canola oil

1 T. honey

 

Directions:

1. Mix the dry ingredients, including the cinnamon, oat flour, rice flour, and half of the wheat flour, in a small bowl and set aside.
2. In another bowl, combine the water, pureed banana, yogurt, honey, and canola oil. Blend with an electric beater.
3. Add the dry ingredients from the small bowl and continue to mix until it’s nicely blended.
4. Pour in the remaining wheat flour a little at a time until it becomes a stiff dough.
5. Sprinkle a bit of flour on a surface, like a clean countertop or large cutting board, and roll out the dough so it is 1/4 or 1/2 inch thick.
6. Use a heart-shaped cookie-cutter to press out the shapes. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can cut the shapes with a small glass to make circles and mold them into hearts.
7. Bake at 300 degrees until golden brown. The time will depend on the thickness of the biscuits, so be sure to keep an eye on them!
8. Remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool and harden.

 

You can also turn the oven off and leave them in for an hour or two to make sure the biscuits are dry and crunchy.
