Facts:
- Bananas are a good source of potassium, manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, fibre, biotin, and copper. They are low in sodium and cholesterol, but due to the sugar content, bananas should be given as a treat, not part of your dog’s main diet.
- Peanut butter is a great source of protein and healthy fats for dogs, and it’s a favourite treat of many. Make sure to use a natural peanut butter that does not contain xylitol, as it’s extremely poisonous to dogs.
- Oats are an excellent source of soluble fibre, which can be especially beneficial for senior dogs with bowel irregularity issues. They are also a great alternative source of grain for dogs that are allergic to wheat.
Remember, always consult your vet if you’re unsure about introducing new foods to your dog’s diet.
If you’re looking to substitute oats in your dog treat recipe, there are several alternatives you can consider. One of the most common substitutes is flour. You can use rice flour and coconut flour too.
