Step 1:
- In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, whole oats flour, milk or water, and unsweetened applesauce. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms.
Step 2:
- Roll the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a grape. Using the end of a chopstick, straw, or your finger, press a small indent into each ball to make a pocket for the pill.
Step 3:
- If the mixture feels too sticky, add a bit more oats flour. If too dry, add a tiny bit of milk or water until pliable. Make sure the texture is easy to mold but not too soft.
Step 4:
- Place the finished pill pockets in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Insert the pill when needed and offer it as a treat.
Notes
Always check with your veterinarian before giving your dog any new treats, especially if they are on medication or have health conditions.
Use only dog-safe ingredients and avoid harmful additives like xylitol. Homemade pill pockets should complement your dog’s diet, not replace balanced meals.
Store treats properly to maintain freshness and always observe your dog when giving medication to ensure they swallow the pill completely.
