Who doesn’t love peanut butter? Ok, that was a stupid question because even your dog loves peanut butter. These treats are a healthier version of your dog’s favorite treat and simple to make. Teddy (my puppy) loves to bake and he loves his dog treats so much that he wanted to share this secret recipe with dogs all over the world. I am sure that your little furry friend will appreciate these cookies as much as he does. They will be asking for them all the time.
