7 DIY No-Bake Pet Treats
Your pets give you unconditional love and lots of laughs, so it’s only natural that you want to give them a special treat every now and then. There’s no doubt that many pets love store-bought treats, but making them yourself gives you more control over what goes into them.
And luckily, making treats for your pets doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming. These seven no-bake pet treats make it easy to show your pets how much you love them.

No-Bake Snowball Treats via Wet Noses Pet Sitting
We’ve included this recipe in the list for its use of coconut oil. Coconut oil has become popular for both humans and pets alike.

Plus, the coconut coating on the outside of the ball makes it extra cute and appealing!

Watermelon Yogurt Frozen Dog Treats via Baking Mischief
When the weather is hot, many humans enjoy watermelon. According to the AKC, watermelon is generally safe for dogs, so pooch can also enjoy the summer favorite. We included this recipe on the list because it could be such a refreshing way to help your canine companion cool down. With just two ingredients, it’s also fast and easy to make.
No-Bake Tuna Treats via Purrform
Cats are not well represented on this list because cats’ nutritional needs can be tricky, so there just aren’t many recipes out there. We’ve included these treats for our feline friends because it’s one of the few no-bake cat treat recipes. And luckily, it’s not too complicated!
Consult with your veterinarian before introducing new foods into your pet’s diet, and be sure to give treats in moderation. When making homemade treats, be sure to avoid potentially harmful ingredients. Take your pet’s size into account when crafting the treats since smaller pets generally need smaller treats.
