Bacon With Peanut Butter Oven Baked Dog Treats

Verified Jul 17, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

These are crunchy, oven-baked dog treats made with bacon as the first ingredient, along with grains and sweet potato for texture and flavor. Sunflower oil provides a source of omega-6 fatty acids, which can support skin and coat health when used alongside a balanced diet. They’re designed as an occasional reward or training treat for dogs of any size, not as a complete meal.

KibbleLab Score
9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

For a treat, this is a reasonably well-composed option that uses real bacon as the main ingredient and includes sunflower oil for extra fatty acids. The protein level is modest, which is perfectly fine for a biscuit-style treat, and the calorie content per piece is clearly stated, which makes it easier to avoid overfeeding. It should work well as an occasional crunchy reward for most healthy adult dogs who tolerate pork and peanut butter.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses named animal protein (bacon) as the first ingredient, which is appropriate for a meat-based treat.
  • Includes sunflower oil, a source of omega-6 fatty acids that can complement skin and coat health as part of an overall balanced diet.
  • Calorie content is clearly listed per treat, which helps you manage portions and avoid excess weight gain.
  • Baked, crunchy texture can be useful for training or occasional rewarding without being overly rich.

Considerations

  • This is a treat only and not a complete and balanced diet, so it should make up only a small portion of your dog’s daily calorie intake.
  • Contains bacon and peanut butter, so it is not suitable for dogs with pork or peanut allergies, and may not be ideal for dogs needing very low-fat treats.
  • Multiple grains are present (barley, oats, rye), which is fine for most dogs but not appropriate if your dog has a confirmed grain allergy.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Bacon
Bacon is used in pet foods primarily as a flavoring and palatability enhancer rather than a balanced protein source, and it contributes high levels of fat and sodium. While it may make food more appealing to dogs and cats, bacon provides limited essential nutrients and frequent or large amounts can promote obesity, pancreatitis, hypertension, and increased exposure to preservatives (nitrates/nitrites), so it should be used sparingly or avoided in pets with pancreatitis, heart, or kidney disease.
02
Barley
Barley is a cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a digestible carbohydrate and source of dietary fiber (including soluble beta‑glucans), along with modest amounts of B vitamins and minerals. It can support healthy digestion, help moderate post‑meal blood sugar and aid weight management in dogs, but provides limited protein for obligate carnivores like cats, must be cooked/processed for good digestibility, and may be unsuitable for pets with grain sensitivities or calorie‑restricted diets.

03
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

04
Oat
Oats are commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (beta‑glucans), plant protein, B vitamins and minerals, which can support healthy digestion and help moderate blood glucose and cholesterol. They are generally well tolerated by dogs and can be included sparingly for cats, but owners should avoid flavored or sweetened preparations (and ingredients like xylitol or raisins), be mindful of possible grain sensitivities or cross‑contamination with gluten, and prefer cooked oats for better digestibility and portion control due to caloric content.
View ingredient
05
Rye
Rye is a cereal grain used in pet foods mainly as a carbohydrate and fiber source, providing modest protein, B vitamins and minerals and fermentable fibers that can support healthy gut bacteria. Because it contains gluten-like proteins and offers limited essential nutrients for obligate carnivores, rye may be unsuitable for pets with grain sensitivities or for cats with high meat requirements, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize risks such as mycotoxin contamination.
