-Phil Pastoret

There are 75 million pet dogs in the United States. The most popular breed of dog to have as a pet is the Labrador Retriever. The smartest dogs are the Border Collie, Poodle and German Shepherd. All dogs are intelligent though. Many breeds can learn up to 250 words and gestures, and dogs have the ability to interpret human emotions too.

Ingredients needed:

• smooth peanut butter (use peanut butter that does not have Xylitol since that is an ingredient that can be poisonous to dogs)
• nonfat plain yogurt
• applesauce
• honey
• whole wheat flour, oat flour or brown rice flour

About PEANUT BUTTER FOR DOGS:

Jif, Smuckers, Skippy and Peter Pan are all Xylitol-free. But the ideal peanut butter for dogs has just two ingredients: peanuts and salt. Look for the creamy natural style peanut butters. Those will be best for your dog.

How to make Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits:

Combine the wet ingredients together. Then stir in the the flour until it forms a stiff dough.

Roll out the dough, and use bone cookie cutters to cut out the biscuits. Any shape will do if you don’t wish to buy a cookie cutter.

Place the peanut butter dog biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn them over and bake for an additional 15 minutes. You want to get them nice and crisp.

How to store Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits:

Store your dog biscuits just as you would store cookies- in a covered container. They’ll last two weeks or so when stored at room temperature. If you store dog biscuits in the refrigerator or freezer, they’ll last up to one month.
