How to Make Peanut Butter Lollipop Dog Treats

Chances are your dog loves peanut butter. The sticky, protein-packed treat is as popular with pups as it is with humans, and, as it does with humans, peanut butter adds variety to a dog's diet -- along with minerals and unsaturated fat. Many fancy dog boutiques sell pricey peanut butter-based biscuits, but you can create a far less expensive version at home, adding parsley for breath control, oats for dietary fiber and banana for extra phytonutrients. Placing the treats, lollipop-style, on a rawhide stick adds chewing satisfaction.
