For Icing:

4. Add honey and peanut butter to a small bowl to make the icing. Microwave in 15-second increments until melted and well combined.

How to feed?

Well, you can add these biscuits to your fur baby’s regular meals. If it’s the first time you are feeding your dog these biscuits, start with 1 biscuit a day for 3-4 days and then 2 biscuits for the next 3-4 days. This way your dog will be able to adjust easily to the newer food. Also, remember, do not rely on a single food and feed your dog a variety of food that is rich in nutrients.

If you have smaller baking moulds, you can prepare smaller biscuits that could be used as training rewards and your dog will love them.

Health Benefits:

Honey

Honey has antifungal properties and it helps in soothing stomach ulcers, reducing inflammation and curing allergies. Raw honey could be given to your dogs in smaller quantities while you can add it to regular meals too. If you are planning to feed honey to your dog for the first time, it’s better to ask your vet first.

Peanut butter

Peanut butter is one of the most common dog treats/foods that is rich in fibre, nutrients and healthy fats. Along with that, it contains folic acid which is helpful in the growth of cells.
