Gimme S'mores Pooch Pancakes Treat Mix

Verified Jun 14, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Adult All Breed Sizes

A novelty, carb-heavy dog treat mix that cooks up into pancakes for dogs. It’s made from oat flour with carob, vanilla, and maple syrup, so it provides mostly carbohydrates with relatively low protein and fat. This is best used as an occasional, fun treat for puppies or adult dogs alongside a complete and balanced dog food, not as a main diet.

KibbleLab Score
6.3 out of 10

This is a simple, oat-based treat mix that can be a fun way to share a special occasion meal with your dog. The ingredient list is short and avoids common meat allergens, but the product is very high in carbohydrates and low in protein and fat compared with balanced dog foods. It’s best suited as an occasional treat for otherwise healthy dogs who are already eating a complete and balanced diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very short and simple ingredient list (oat flour, carob, vanilla, maple syrup), which can be helpful for owners who like to know exactly what’s in a treat.
  • Oat flour provides a gentle carbohydrate source and some fiber, and there are no animal proteins, wheat, soy, or dairy in this recipe.
  • Moderate fat and fiber levels for a treat, and the powder format lets you control portion size once prepared.

Considerations

  • This is a treat only and is not formulated to be a complete and balanced diet, so it should make up only a small portion of your dog’s daily calories.
  • Protein content is relatively low and carbohydrates are very high, so it’s not ideal for dogs who need higher-protein or carefully controlled carb intake.
  • Contains maple syrup, which adds sugar and calories; this may not be the best choice for dogs who are overweight or who need stricter calorie control.
  • As with any new treat, sensitive dogs may experience digestive upset if a large amount is given at once, so introduce it gradually and in small portions.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Oat Flour
Oat flour is used in pet food mainly as a carbohydrate source and binder that contributes soluble fiber (including beta‑glucans), modest protein, and B vitamins and minerals. It can help support digestive health and stool quality in dogs and is generally safe for cats in small amounts, but it is calorie‑dense so shouldn’t dominate diets for obligate carnivores and pets with grain sensitivities should be monitored for rare oat allergy or cross‑contamination with gluten‑containing grains.
02
Carob
Carob is a naturally sweet, low‑fat powder used in pet treats and coatings as a chocolate substitute and flavoring that supplies soluble fiber and small amounts of minerals (e.g., calcium, potassium) while being free of theobromine and caffeine that make cocoa toxic to dogs. It is generally safe and palatable for dogs (and occasionally used in cat treats), but is relatively high in sugars and can add calories, contribute to dental issues or cause gastrointestinal upset in large amounts, so it should be used sparingly and avoided in pets with obesity or uncontrolled diabetes.
03
Vanilla
Vanilla is used primarily as a flavoring to improve palatability of pet foods and treats and provides no meaningful protein, vitamin, or mineral contribution. In the small amounts used in commercial formulas it is generally safe, but pet owners should beware of human vanilla products or treats that contain xylitol, added sugars, chocolate, or alcohol-based extracts (which can be harmful), and vanilla should not be relied upon for nutritional benefit.
04
Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is used mainly as a sweetener and palatability enhancer in pet treats, providing readily digestible carbohydrates and trace minerals (e.g., manganese) but very little protein or essential nutrients. Because of its high sugar content it is calorie-dense and can contribute to obesity, dental disease or exacerbate diabetes and pancreatitis risks, so it should be used sparingly and avoided in diabetic or calorie-restricted pets.
