With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking of what to give to the true love of your life – your furkiddos! 🐶😻 This vet-formulated recipe is a fun and delicious snack that you and your furry sweetheart can share. This Valentine’s Day cookie recipe for pets will have them falling head over paws for you.

This is a treat you don’t have to feel guilty about because it is loaded with nutrients! Bananas contain a fair amount of fiber, as well as several antioxidants and support digestion because they are rich in sugar, but it is important to give a moderate amount. Oats are very nutrient-dense as they contain many important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Oats are high in fiber, protein, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and vitamin B1 (thiamin). Not only does ginger add a nice flavor to this recipe but it also has properties that support circulation, digestion, and can help reduce inflammation.

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup of coconut oil
• 2 tbsp honey
