Regardless of whether you’re in the process of training your fur baby or you want to give them treats to help with their everyday aches and pains this recipe is delicious
Peanut butter treats are appreciated by dogs all over the world and will also be the ideal beginning for your dog’s CBD journey.
For this particular recipe, you will need:
- ¼ cup of peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 3 cups flour (If your dog is gluten intolerant, you can use gluten-free flour as an alternative.)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup of apple sauce
- CBD oil (Pet or human cbd oil will work just fine)
SIDE NOTE: If you are using a human CBD oil please be sure it is all-natural (no flavorings, especially peppermint as that can sometimes irritate their stomachs) We of course have an all-natural CBD oil (shameless self-promotion) and a pet CBD oil. As for me I use the human cbd oil because it is more value for the money. But you can use the pet cbd oil as well, they just tend to be a lower milligram. On a side note the only difference between a pet cbd oil and a human one is that the human oil has to adhere to higher standards in the development process.
Amount of CBD Oil To Add: The amount you are going to add is going to be dependent on how much your dog weighs. I would start with 2 full droppers of a 1000mg oil. If you are using one of our 1000mg CBD sprays that would be 6 squirts. Thats about 60mg for the whole batch of treats you are making. Which depending how how big you make your treats could average out to about 6mg per treat if you made 10 treats.
Once you have all the necessary ingredients gathered up you are ready to begin
Step 1 – preheat the oven up to 350 degrees
Step 2 – Add in the apple sauce, peanut butter, eggs and oils into a bowl
Step 3 – Slowly mix in the baking soda and flour to make a firm dough. Making sure that the flour is thoroughly combined into the mix.
Step 4 – Portion the dough into the size that best fits your pet. I like to roll it into small balls. Small enough to where if Shadow (that’s my dog) gulps it down she wont choke on it. But everyone knows their dog best so please do what’s appropriate for your fur baby.
Step 5 – Place the portions onto the cookie sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
DONE!
A few Tips
Avoid Toxic Ingredients – There are some ingredients that are poisonous to dogs. Raisins and chocolate especially.
Don’t give them all out at once – Its going to be delicious and they will beg for more. However, keep in mind that CBD should be consumed in moderation.
Keep an eye on their behavior – If you notice any changes in the health or behavior of your pooch, do not hesitate to give your veterinarian a call. Mine will usually just go lay down after, she gets very relaxed.
