Valentine's Day isn't just for the humans in your life—it's the perfect opportunity to show your furry best friend how much they mean to you! At Doody Free 941, we know that our four-legged companions give us unconditional love every single day, and they deserve to be celebrated. While we take care of keeping your yard clean and fresh all year round, we wanted to share a special way you can pamper your pup this February 14th.
What better way to say "I love you" to your dog than with homemade treats made with care? Store-bought treats are convenient, but there's something extra special about baking goodies in your own kitchen. Plus, you'll know exactly what ingredients are going into your pup's belly—no mysterious additives or preservatives, just wholesome ingredients that are safe and delicious.
Peanut Butter & Banana Heart Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for grain-free option)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free—always check the label!)
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup water (add more if needed)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed banana and peanut butter until well combined.
- Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Add water a tablespoon at a time if the dough is too dry.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out treats (or any shape you have on hand!).
- Place cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool completely before serving to your eager pup!
This Valentine's Day, while you're celebrating with the ones you love, don't forget about the wagging tail that greets you at the door every day. And remember, the best gift you can give your dog is a clean, healthy yard to play in—which is where Doody Free 941 comes in! Let us handle the dirty work so you have more time to enjoy special moments with your furry Valentine. Happy Valentine's Day from our pack to yours!
