Strawberry Banana Dog Treats

Strawberry Banana Dog Treats

We recently ran out of dog treats so I went in search of some inspiration and found a recipe on The Cozy Cook for these strawberry banana dog treats that looked perfect – especially since I had everything on hand. The dough was very sticky and I ended up using a bit more flour than the recipe called for but other than that kept it the same. I made these treats nice and thin and cooked them well so they had a nice crunch. Grace went crazy for these tasty treats and made sure to get every last crumb while trying them fresh from the oven.

If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.

Working on a floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use more flour as needed.

Use a dog treat cutter to cut out the desired shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.

    1. Trish,

      I don’t provide nutritional information for my site but there are nutrition calculators available online.

  1. Do you think it’s possible to just shape the dough instead of using cutter? Like those chocolate chip cookies that is fat in the middle. I hope you understand what I mean

    1. Ivy,

      Yes, I think that should be just fine. I would do small ball portions then flatten them with your hand or a spatula before baking. I hope your pup enjoys them!!

  2. Ok so tomorrow will be my first day making these. What would u say would be a expiration date . Like how long will they be good for in a sealed container.

    1. Jessica,

      I’ve had mine last up to two months in an airtight ziplock freezer bag, although my dog usually eats them all before then. You can also keep them in the fridge but keep an eye on them after a couple of weeks. They will only be good for 3-4 days if you store them on the counter.

  3. Easy recipe to make your furry friends happy and know that they are loved. I used more flour than it called for, but I used more strawberries than it called for also. The dogs were licking their lips. Thanks Pam for the recipe.

    1. Delores,

      I’m so happy your dogs were happy with the treats! Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
