In a large microwave bowl, warm the peanut butter in the microwave until soft enough to pour, 30 seconds - a minute.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the peanut butter and mix well.
Form 1-inch sized balls, packing the dough tightly.
Place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Check Peanut Butter Ingredients: Ensure the peanut butter you use does not contain xylitol, a sweetener often found in peanut butter and harmful to dogs. Stick to natural peanut butter without any added sweeteners or artificial ingredients to keep the treats safe for your furry friend.
Consistency of Dough: Pay attention to the consistency of the dough when mixing the ingredients. It should hold together well enough to form into balls without crumbling apart. If the dough feels too dry, you can add a little more peanut butter or vegetable oil to help bind it together.
Cooling and Storage: Allow the homemade dog treats to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Storing them while still warm can lead to moisture buildup and spoilage. Keeping the treats in an airtight container helps maintain their freshness and prevents them from becoming stale.
