5 No-Bake Dog Treats That Are Allergy-Friendly

We get it—your dog deserves treats. But maybe your dog has allergies, or maybe you just don’t want to deal with baking (because turning on the oven in July should be illegal). Either way, you need snack options that won’t trigger a vet visit—or a heatwave.

Enter: no-bake, allergy-friendly dog treats.
No wheat. No dairy. No “wait, is this toxic to dogs?” moments. Just simple, safe ingredients your pup will devour with that “I’d die for you” look in their eyes.

Let’s get to it. (Spoiler: these are stupid easy.)

Peanut Butter & Banana Bites (aka Puppy Crack)

If your dog had a favorite boy band, this would be the lead singer. These things are that popular.

You’ll need:

• 1 ripe banana (mashed)
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free, always)
• 1 cup oat flour or finely ground oats

How to make it:

1. Mix banana and peanut butter until smooth-ish.
2. Stir in the oat flour to form a dough.
3. Roll into bite-sized balls, flatten if you want to be fancy.
4. Refrigerate for an hour or freeze for longer storage.

Why it works:
Oats are gentle on sensitive tummies, banana is packed with potassium, and peanut butter? Just say the word and your dog’s ears will teleport to your face.

Coconut Apple Chews

These smell so good you’ll want to try one. (You can. They’re basically fruity energy balls.)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or pureed apple)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional—but dogs usually love it)

Instructions:

1. Mix everything in a bowl until it clumps together.
2. Scoop into tiny balls or press into silicone molds.
3. Chill in the fridge or freezer.

Allergy win:
No grains, no dairy, no eggs. Just fruity, fibery goodness that smells like fall and makes your kitchen feel wholesome.

Sweet Potato & Chia Energy Drops

Your pup wants a superfood? Here it is. These are loaded with fiber, omega-3s, and they actually stick together without glue (or eggs).

What you need:

• 1/2 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato (cooled)
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 cup coconut flour or oat flour

How to make:

1. Stir everything together. If it’s too dry, add a spoon of water.
2. Roll into small balls or press into bone-shaped molds (because you’re that dog parent).
3. Freeze for at least an hour.

Bonus: Chia seeds absorb moisture, so they help bind everything naturally. Also good for skin, coat, and keeping puppy poop consistent (TMI, but it matters).

Blueberry Yogurt Pupsicles

Okay, technically this one melts—but it’s still no-bake and crazy easy. Plus, it’s perfect for summer zoomies.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plain coconut yogurt (or dairy-free dog-safe yogurt)
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions:

1. Blend together until smooth.
2. Pour into ice cube trays or silicone molds.
3. Freeze for a few hours.

Heads up:
Most dogs love yogurt—but many can’t handle dairy. Coconut yogurt is usually safe, but read the label. No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no weird stuff.

Also? These look like fancy human smoothie cubes. Don’t mix them up.

Pumpkin & Sunbutter Balls

For the allergy-prone pup who can’t even do peanut butter—sunflower seed butter to the rescue.

You’ll need:

• 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin (not pie filling!)
• 1/4 cup sunflower seed butter
• 1 cup rolled oats or oat flour

How to make it:

1. Mix it all in a bowl. Stir until it’s doughy.
2. Roll into little balls. You know the drill.
3. Chill or freeze. Done and done.

Why it rocks:
Pumpkin is a digestive superhero, and sunbutter is perfect for pups who can’t do nuts. This combo is basically a fiber bomb wrapped in flavor.

Storage Tips (Because You’re Gonna Make a Bunch)

• Fridge: Good for 3–5 days in an airtight container
• Freezer: Up to 2 months (if your dog doesn’t eat them all immediately)
• Counter: Nope. They’re fresh, not shelf-stable.

Label your containers. Trust me. There is nothing more tragic than grabbing a frozen “cookie dough ball” that turns out to be chia-sweet-potato-dog-treat.

Final Licks

Whether your pup has allergies or you just want to feed them better than the generic biscuit-from-a-box, these no-bake treats are your new best friend.

They’re easy, fast, allergy-friendly, and you don’t even have to pretend you know how to bake.

Keep it simple. Keep it safe. Keep your pup drooling (in a good way). 🐾
