If you’re a pet parent on the go – and who am I kidding, aren’t we all? – finding the time to whip up a batch of goodies for your pup can be difficult. Homemade dog treats are essential for pets with food allergies or dietary restrictions, as every ingredient can be trusted and tracked.

Just because you’re a busy bee doesn’t mean you can’t treat your pet like the royalty they are; these homemade dog treats all have three ingredients, most of which you already have in your pantry. Try your hand one of these easy dog treat recipes and soon your pup will be begging for more!

Perfect for the dog days of summer, these homemade dog treats pack a protein punch! As bloggers 17 Apart note, “The key to these treats is in the layering a freezing.” Use plain yogurt – Greek is okay, too – and blend with bananas, pouring the first layer in a freezable mold/tray. Let set for 10 minutes, then add another layer: this time it’s peanut butter, pups’ favorite. (Be sure to pick one that’s xylitol-free!) After freezing for 10 minutes, apply one last layer of yogurt mixture and top with a slice of banana. Give your healthy, homemade dog treats four hours to fully freeze, then serve!

Whether your pet has a food allergy to wheat, dairy or certain types of meat, it can be difficult to find delicious, pup-approved goodies. Homemade dog treats are a surefire way to confirm what’s going into your pet. Feel free to customize treats to your liking, such as this easy dog treat recipe from Good Dogs & Co! Quinoa flour is a tasty, nutritious replacement for dogs with gluten intolerance, while sweet potatoes – one of many superfoods safe for pets – provide a sweet, creamy texture to treats. Finally, coconut oil keeps your dog’s coat healthy while also acting as a substitute for dairy products.
