Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/2 cup finely grated carrots
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon water (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until they become a coarse flour.
- Scoop out small portions and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands.
Add the blueberries, strawberries, grated carrots, peanut butter, and coconut oil if using. Blend until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough. If the mixture is too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it holds together easily.
Place the balls on a baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Notes:
- Always use xylitol-free peanut butter, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- You can substitute fruits like apples or bananas if needed, but avoid grapes, raisins, or any ingredients harmful to dogs.
- These treats are intended as an occasional snack and not a meal replacement.
