Cheerios, Banana & Bacon Dog Treats Recipe

Any good dog treats worth their weight in gold needs to have a few things. These Cheerios, Banana & Bacon Dog Treats have em all!

The first thing us dogs look for is crunchiness and Cheerios definitely have it. Second, on the list, is a bit of sweet. But not just any kind of sweet will do. We’re not talkin’ the bad for ya sweet, we like usin’ bananas in our recipe.

Bananas make em a healthy homemade dog treat and a sweet treat! Plus, most dogs love em.

But that’s not all because this dog treat recipe gets even better. We saved the best for last. Bacon! Yep! You read it right – BACON! BACON! WOOF! Just like you humanz, us dogs go a bit cray cray over this crispy delicious stuff.

Special notes on these tasty dog treats:

Make sure to use the original Cheerios and not the varieties that contain sugar.

Cheerios contain wheat, which isn’t bad for dogs in moderation. Do not use raw bacon. Bacon should be thoroughly cooked. It is best to use unsalted bacon, but regular is fine in moderation.

When finished frying bacon place it on a paper towel to absorb excess fat. Remember not to include the bacon grease because dogs can get high cholesterol too.

The Cheerios, Banana & Bacon Doggie Treats are meant to be used as a snack and should not be used as a meal replacement for your pet.

If you have any questions about this recipe and or the ingredients used, I urge you to contact your veterinarian.
