It is a good source of protein and healthy fat for them, and can keep them well distracted in the evening. But adding bacon into the mix? Well, we don&#8217;t think your dogs will forgive you if the supply runs out.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you want to bake their biscuits because you love making their homemade meals because you want to know what is going into their diet (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/best-dog-biscuit\/\">dog biscuits<\/a> is no different), or simply because you love them to try something new, these biscuits are a really nice starting point and are certainly different to anything available in the shops.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade-dog-biscuits.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade dog biscuits\" width=\"1199\" height=\"513\" \/ fetchpriority=\"high\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade-dog-biscuits.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade-dog-biscuits-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade-dog-biscuits-1024x438.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade-dog-biscuits-768x329.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the below recipe, whole wheat flour has the best health benefits for dogs but unbleached all-purpose is usually fine too &#8211; speak to your vet first to ensure your dog doesn&#8217;t have any allergies. For the oats, rolled or quick are good, but we prefer the former to add a bit of texture (although your dog may disagree!)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>255g natural peanut butter<\/li>\n<li>180ml skimmed milk<\/li>\n<li>1 large egg (or 60g unsweetened applesauce)<\/li>\n<li>240g whole wheat flour<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp baking powder<\/li>\n<li>30g oats<\/li>\n<li>2\u20133 strips cooked streaky bacon, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 160C.

And, if it will be a regular bake, why not buy a dedicated doggy cutter? Either dog, paw or bone-shaped cutters are widely available.<\/p>\n<p>They will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for a week, or in the fridge for around two weeks &#8211; but nothing lasts that long in our homes and we doubt these will be an exception in yours!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peanut-Butter-Dog-Treats-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"Peanut Butter Dog Treats\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peanut-Butter-Dog-Treats-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peanut-Butter-Dog-Treats-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peanut-Butter-Dog-Treats-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peanut-Butter-Dog-Treats.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody is baking right now &#8211;
