We had a rainy day the other day and that meant us pups were lazin’ ’round in the house all day. Well, what goes better with layin’ round bein’ lazy than munchin’ on some good homemade dog treats? We went beggin’ to my Lady and like always – we talked her into makin’ us some! We wanted some of those tasty Peanut Butter and Oregano Dog Treats that she makes. After a few puppy dog looks and some good doggie smooches she agreed to make us some WOOF! I’ll let her tell ya how she makes em!

They look so good. My dogs would love.
Dogs live peanut butter, u bet they really go for these treats.
This looks like a great recipe. I’m definitely going to try it. How long will the dog treats keep? Have you tried freezing them? I was thinking about making a large batch and dividing them into weekly or monthly portions. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
They will be fine in the freezer. Take out and allow to thaw in fridge or on the counter 🙂
Theses treats look very yummy for dogs
Can you butterinstead of bacon grease?
I have never tried it that way, but it would probably work. My pups just enjoy the flavor of bacon 🙂
This is a fantastic recipe! I love that it has oregano in it for increased immunity. Brilliant! I wonder, how soon must I use up the treats?
Yummy! I know a certain dog that would go crazy over these! I also love the added oregano! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I have never made homemade dog treats. I need to try this.
This is a great idea. Home made treats. I bet my fur baby would love those And it looks easy enough I might actually be able to do it. Thank you so much for the ideas
I think with the bacon grease especially these would be a big hit!
I didn’t know that about oregano! I think these treats would be really helpful for my old gal.
I must admit peanut butter and oregano is a combination that has never occurred to me, but that was before I learned of all of oregano’s health benefits!
