Notes

  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little water. If it’s too wet, add more oats.
  • Adjust the size of the balls based on your dog’s size.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
  • For variety, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or substitute the peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
