Easy Peanut Butter Banana Treats

I can smell it, I know those are for us!
Since I love to experiment with cooking and baking, spoiling my dogs is easy! And they always love my cooking, even if it doesn't look perfect the first time around! I had lots of oats and a couple bananas that were getting very ripe. And since we stockpile peanut butter, that got added into the recipe too. 

4-5 handfuls of dry oats
2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter
2 mashed very ripe bananas

Combine everything in a bowl, I used my hands. Spray a foil lined pan, whatever size you like, with a spray oil. Form the mixture to the pan to later be able to cut into bars. Mine were about a half inch thick. 

Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes. Let cool. Cut into bars. Ice with yogurt frosting if desired.

Trying to be sneaky....
Icing will harden some in the refrigerator, mine didn't completely. But the dogs don't seem to mind!

Are you holiday ready?

Do we have to wear these to the party? I'd rather stay home and nap.
We've heard a lot of tips over the years, but maybe it's been a while since you've had a pet that is new to the holidays. Or new holiday guests that aren't used to having pets around at the holidays!

Or like me, it's been a while since you've had 6 dogs to keep up with in the house, outside, and around food and guests!

A couple things I've learned the hard way...

Guest's purses and coats/coat pockets:
Contents: medications, hair ties, make-up (and their plastic containers) and the fabric the purse is made out of. Plastic and string like material are the worst combinations for your pet to ingest. They can get wrapped up in their intestines 
and be very difficult and costly to remove. Hair ties can get wrapped up as well. 

Everything IN the kitchen sink:
Any food scraps you are throwing in to put down the disposal later. Human food is 
not always safe for dogs. Find a list of non-dog friendly foods here. And just in case, Animal Poison Control: 888.426.4435. Call them if you think your pet has ingested anything.Plastic utensils, like above, if they eat the plastic then the really good smelling dish rag, they could be in trouble.

Lots of great tips  on keeping your pets safe for the holidays from Pet MD, check it out and take our holiday survey on our website! We want to know how you spoil your pet!
