Ingredients Needed:
- Peanut Butter: Smooth vs. chunky. (use peanut butter that does not have Xylitol since that is an ingredient that can be poisonous to dogs)
- Nonfat Plain Yogurt: Regular yogurt or Greek yogurt will work.
- Applesauce: Use unsweetened applesauce.
- Honey: A little honey is added in for sweetness and flavor. You can leave it out if you want to.
- Flour: Use whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour for the healthiest option. You can also use oat flour or brown rice flour.
About PEANUT BUTTER FOR DOGS:

How to make Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits:
The full, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post. Here’s a brief overview.
Combine the wet ingredients together. Then stir in the the flour until it forms a stiff dough.
Roll out the dough, and use bone cookie cutters to cut out the biscuits. Any shape will do if you don’t wish to buy a cookie cutter. Place the peanut butter dog biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn them over and bake for an additional 15 minutes. You want to get them nice and crisp.
How to store Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits:
Store your dog biscuits just as you would store cookies- in a covered container. They’ll last a week or so when stored at room temperature. If you store dog biscuits in the refrigerator or freezer, they’ll last up to one month. I like to keep mine in the freezer and just take one out each day to let it defrost and give to my dog.
