How to Make Homemade Dog Pill Pocket Treats

Giving dogs their daily medication is sometimes not an easy chore!

You can try and disguise that pill in the best of treats only for them to eat the treat and spit it back out.

Then, they give you the side-eye like you are not fooling me!

For some of my pack, I went so far as to give up on trying to place it in a treat and when it didn’t work, I gave up and went straight for placing it in their throat.

So, I put on my thinking cap and came up with the idea of a homemade pill picket that they would love and WANT to scarf up! In other words, irresistible!

The whole pack loves these dog pill pockets and no longer fights with me about taking their medications!

Why use Natural Peanut Butter?

Natural peanut butter is healthier than regular or processed peanut butter because it does not contain any added sugars or oils.

Natural peanut butter is made with pure peanuts, so it contains more protein, vitamins, and minerals. It also has a nuttier flavor and a much better texture.
