Bananas are a loved fruit by almost all dogs. They are not only sweet, but they are loaded with Vitamin B6, fiber, and of course, potassium. So pick a banana dog treat recipe and give your dog the very best in dog treats.

Our featured Banana Biscotti recipe:

Ingredients:
  • 2 medium bananas
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F
  2. Place the peeled bananas and peanut butter into a large microwave safe bowl.
  3. Microwave the bananas and peanut butter for 30 seconds, or less to soften.
  4. Thoroughly mash the bananas while mixing in the peanut butter.
  5. Beat in the two eggs.
  6. Stir in the water.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and oats.
  8. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the banana mixture.
  9. Using a fork, stir together the wet and dry ingredients until completely combined. If needed, use your hands to mix together the mixture.
  10. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  11. Turn out your dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press the ball into a rectangular shape about 1 inch thick. Try to make your shape as uniform as possible for even baking.
  12. Bake for 20 minutes.
  13. Let the banana biscotti cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  14. Cut the rectangle in half, lengthwise.
  15. Cut strips about 1 inch thick.
  16. Place the slices, cut side down, and bake for another 20 minutes, turning them over half way through.
  17. Turn the oven off and let the treats cool in the oven. Or, cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Yield: 24 - 2 inch by 1 inch banana biscotti

Banana Bread Dog Treats - Banana bread is not just for the two-legged family members. This recipe is made with your dog in mind. Use a regular loaf pan or muffin tin to make this recipe. Or, to make the treats like the ones below, use a mini loaf pan, instead.

Banana & Peanut Butter Dog Cake - Another versatile recipe that you can make into a traditional cake form, or make into regular or mini muffins. Check out a visitor submitted picture from Facebook of her celebration cake made with this recipe below.

Banana & Carrot Dog Biscuits - Yes, I realize these dog treats are in the shape of a carrot, and have carrots in them. However, they also contain 1 full ripe banana, so I thought they deserved to be featured. :)

May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month

Take this month of May to educate yourself regarding the early warning signs for Cancer in your dog. A few small changes in your daily routine can make a huge difference in your dogs long term health.

For example, ditch your strong household cleaners for natural plant based cleaners. This is a good idea for all of your family members.

Second, review the types of commercial treats and food you give your dog. According to the PetCancerAwareness.org website - "Exposure to chemicals in the environment and even small daily doses of chemical additives and preservatives in their food can build up and be carcinogenic."

Learn about Cancer in our pets and be sure to share the information to help even more pet parents be prepared.
