Instructions
How to Make Homemade Dog Pill Pockets
- Start by lining a small baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps everything clean and gives you a place to set each finished treat so they don’t stick or flatten while you work.
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, oat flour, and Greek yogurt. Mix until everything is smooth and fully blended, with no dry pockets of flour or streaks of yogurt remaining. You want a consistent dough so every piece holds together the same way.
- Once mixed, you’ll notice the texture shift fairly quickly from sticky to dough-like. Don’t rush this step or worry if it feels soft at first. As you continue mixing, it will come together into a pliable dough.. soft enough to mold easily, but firm enough that it doesn’t stick all over your hands.
- When the dough is ready, pinch off small portions.. about a teaspoon each, or even slightly smaller than you think you need. Roll each piece gently between your palms to form a smooth ball, then place it on your parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all your pill pockets are shaped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about an hour. This helps them firm up so they’re easier to handle and seal later. After chilling, transfer them to a large zip-top bag or airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer for future use.
How to Use Pill Pocket
- When it’s time to give medication, flatten one dough ball slightly in your hand. Place the pill in the center, then fold the dough completely around it.
- Press the edges together firmly so there are no cracks, gaps, or weak spots. Once sealed, roll it lightly between your hands to smooth it into a clean, even ball.
- When done correctly, it should look just like a normal soft treat.. nothing bulky, nothing suspicious, just a simple peanut butter bite doing its job without a fight.
