These frozen treats will have your dog sliding into home plate for a cool snack during the game!
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional but adds a nice creamy texture)
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a little sweetness)
Red food coloring (optional, for a baseball stitching effect)
Instructions:
Mash the Banana: Start by peeling and mashing the banana in a bowl until it's smooth.
Mix Ingredients: Stir in the peanut butter and Greek yogurt. If you're using honey, add it now. Mix everything until well combined.
Add Color: For the baseball stitching effect, take a few drops of red food coloring and gently swirl them into the mix. This is a fun step, but feel free to skip it if you prefer a natural treat!
Spoon into Molds: Spoon the mixture into silicone molds. You can find baseball-shaped molds or even use simple round ice cube trays.
Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the treats are solid.
Serve: Pop the frozen treats out of the molds and serve them during the 7th inning stretch! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Get your dog into the game spirit with these savory, baseball-themed biscuits. The sweet potato adds a great texture and makes these treats extra hearty.
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked chicken (shredded)
1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (cooked)
2 cups whole wheat flour (or rice flour for a gluten-free option)
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil (for a crisp texture)
1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium, no onion/garlic)
Red food coloring (optional, for stitching effect)
Baseball Cutters: Baseball-shaped cookie cutters or a knife to create baseball designs.
Instructions:
Prepare the Sweet Potato: Bake or microwave the sweet potato until it’s soft and then mash it.
Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed sweet potato, whole wheat flour, egg, and olive oil. Slowly add in the chicken broth and stir until the dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Shape the Biscuits: Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Use a baseball-shaped cookie cutter to cut out circles, or cut out round shapes using a glass.
Add the Baseball Stitching: For a fun touch, take a toothpick or small fork and gently score stitching lines on the surface of each biscuit, mimicking a baseball’s design. If you want more color, lightly paint the stitching with red food coloring.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool & Serve: Let the biscuits cool completely before serving them to your pup. These can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, egg, and applesauce until smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oats, whole wheat flour, and cinnamon until fully combined. The mixture should be slightly thick but still easy to stir.
Shape the Muffins: Lightly grease your muffin tin or use silicone baseball-shaped molds. Spoon the batter into the molds, filling each one about three-quarters full.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the muffins for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
