Our fur babies are family, and like any good pet parent, you should know what’s in the food you’re giving them. The ingredients for these pooch-approved treats most likely are in your pantry.

P.B. & BANANA BISCUITS

• 1 cup whole wheat flour

• ¾ cup dog-safe creamy peanut butter*

• 1 whole banana

1. Heat oven to 350 F. 2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well to form a thick dough. 3. Form the dough into a large ball. On a flat, floured surface, roll out dough to about ¼ inch thick. 4. Using a cookie cutter, cut out pieces until you’ve used all the dough. 5. Place pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm. 6. Let cool completely before serving. Store in refrigerator for up to one week.

DOGGIE DELIGHTS

• 1 cup whole wheat flour

• 1 cup oats

• ½ cup flax seed

• ½ cup beef broth

• ¼ cup dog-safe peanut butter (xylitol-free)

1. Heat oven to 350 F. 2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, oats and flax seed. Stir in beef broth and peanut butter to form a thick dough. Add more broth, if necessary.

FROZEN APPLE DOG TREATS

• 2 apples

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

• Water

1. Slice two apples into small sections, removing the seeds and core. 2. In a blender, mix the apple slices and yogurt. Add water, if necessary; the consistency should be liquidy. 3. Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray. Place in freezer until frozen solid. 4. Serve outdoors — to avoid messes as treats thaw.
