If you have some old bananas on your sideboard that are starting to turn brown, you may be thinking of making banana bread.<\/p>\n

While that's a great idea for your human family members, these homemade banana dog treats<\/strong> are another great way to use up the aging fruit.<\/p>\n

Bananas are a great<\/a> addition to your pet's diet as long as you feed them in moderation.<\/p>\n

They are low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals like biotin, potassium, and copper.<\/p>\n

Bananas are also high in fiber, which is good for your pup's digestion.<\/p>\n

They are low in cholesterol and sodium, but they are a bit high in sugar.<\/p>\n

That's why it's important to feed these treats in moderation. As with dog treats, you don't want to add too many unnecessary calories to your dog's diet.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about making homemade dog treats<\/a> is that you can customize them to your pet's needs.<\/p>\n

For example, if you're doing training work<\/a> and feeding lots of treats daily, you can make them very small.<\/p>\n

Even if you're not feeding them as training treats, you can cater the size of the treats to your pet. I make a variety of sizes because I have multiple dogs.<\/p>\n

Homemade Banana Dog Treats Recipe<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"homemade<\/p>\n

This homemade dog treat recipe uses just 5 ingredients. It's easy to make and great for dogs with food allergies and sensitivities.<\/p>\n

If your dog is allergic to oats, you could substitute quinoa flakes or rice bran for them.<\/p>\n

You could also substitute<\/a> mashed sweet potato, canned pumpkin, plain yogurt,\u00a0or applesauce for the banana.<\/p>\n

I like to make different variations of this recipe to keep the treats appealing to my dogs and add different nutritional benefits to their diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>

As I mentioned, you can cater homemade dog food and dog treat recipes to meet your pet's specific needs. If your dog needs a grain-free recipe, you could use almond or coconut flour in place of the oats.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check the nutritional information below, and do not feed too many of these treats in one day. As with any dog treats, feeding too many will add unnecessary calories to your dog's diet.<\/p>\n

You'll need to increase your pet's activity level in order to burn off extra calories. It's important to keep your pet lean and prevent obesity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
