Coconut Sunbutter Dog Treat Recipe

Coconut Sunbutter Dog Treat Recipe feature

While I do buy them sometimes when we travel, I am not a huge fan of buying dog treats. Many of the dog treats on the market contain ingredients I couldn’t even imagine feeding to my dog. To me, dogs deserve to have treats that contain not only healthy ingredients, but are made to be yummy to humans as well. Let’s face it, dogs love table scraps because they taste good and aren’t boring like their own dog food. Since it’s hard to find treats that meet our criteria for Reya, I usually heat up the oven and make my own. Not only does she love them but they are much cheaper than the ‘natural’ treats you can normally buy at the store.

Lately, I have been experimenting with a variety of different dog treat recipes. While I know she loves my normal recipe, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a better one out there. Besides, who wants to eat the same treat all the time? This recipe was actually suggested to me by The Honest Kitchen. After trying out their dehydrated dog food, I was excited to try this recipe. After trying this recipe with their Pro-Bloom Deyhydrated Goats Milk, I have to say. Best of all, Reya went wild over these treats, making them a big win in our household!

  1. Thank you for this recipe. I am very cautious about what I feed my critters. I have found commercial products have caused all my pets to develop allergies which have not only been uncomfortable for them but very expensive (vet visits etc.) I can’t wait to try this recipe. I know they will love it!

  2. I always learn something from this site. Never even heard of coconut flour til now 🙂

  4. those look good lol. my dog might have to fight me for them :p thanks for sharing.

  5. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I believe it’s always best to make our own dog food whenever possible. These days, it’s so hard to know if we’re buying safe food and treats for our sweet fur babies.

  7. My dog loves treats, especially “new” ones that we save for training. These might be just the ticket since I can make them in different shapes and sizes depending on what we need.

    He also gets coconut oil in his food every day to help with his coat and digestion issues.

    These coconut sunbutter dog treat recipe looks wonderful! I’ve pinned it too so I can share it.

  8. Love the naturalness of this recipe for our dog. I would have never thought of using coconut flour. Thank you for the recipe!

  9. These sound great! Have made organic pumpkin/peanut butter treats for my little guy – which he loved :). Will definitely have to try these, too.

  10. These sound interesting, but I have never heard of Coconut flour, Almond or Sunflower butter or dehydrated goats milk before. I’m not sure Sparkie would like these or not since he is a little picky with his food and treats.
