I am so excited to share this recipe for Peanut Butter Dog Cookies! I created this recipe for my first Pug, Otto, when he was just a pup. He had some allergies, and I realized that so many dog treats weren’t even that good for dogs!
So, I created this recipe for oat and peanut butter dog treats. I did some research on what dogs could eat, and what was good for them, and I created this recipe for Peanut Butter Dog Cookies. I started serving this at my bake shop as well, because our motto was always Dessert for Everyone and that included dogs!

This recipe for Peanut Butter Dog Cookies is also in my book, Cookies for Everyone, and Otto has a cameo in it! These simple oat and peanut butter dog treats are soft, which makes them great for older dogs or dogs who need softer food.
According to AKC.org, oats are a great carb for dogs because they contain vitamin B, which helps maintain a healthy coat, and linoleic acid, which is a type of omega-6 fatty acid that helps to maintain the strength of dogs’ skin.
AKC.org also say that eggs provide much-needed vitamins and minerals for dogs such as iron, fatty acids, folate, protein, vitamin A and more! And, they even say that eggs should be free-range and organic – not joking here, if AKC says it, then you best be buying organic!
AKC.org also mentions that some peanut butters may have xylitol in them. This can be life threatening for dogs. So please make sure the peanut butter you use does not have this ingredient! If you are buying the organic peanut butter I recommend below, then you are all good!
