Verified Aug 21, 2026
These are crunchy, plant-based dog biscuits made from grains like barley and oats with peanut butter as the primary protein source and banana for additional flavor and carbohydrates. They’re designed as a vegan treat option for dogs of all ages and sizes, and avoid animal ingredients, corn, wheat, soy, and artificial colors or flavors. With about 17 calories per biscuit, they can work well as an occasional training reward or snack alongside a complete and balanced diet.

Top Pick
For a treat, this is a thoughtfully put-together, plant-based option that relies on recognizable ingredients like barley, oats, and peanut butter rather than lots of additives. The protein and fat levels are appropriate for a crunchy biscuit, and the calorie content per treat is clearly stated, which makes it easier to manage weight. It can be a good choice for dogs who do well on grains and who need or prefer a vegan treat option, as long as the main diet is complete and balanced.

Strengths
- Simple ingredient list with whole grains (barley, oats) and peanut butter as the main components, which many dogs find palatable.
- No animal ingredients, corn, wheat, soy, or artificial colors/flavors, which may suit dogs whose owners are avoiding those ingredients.
- Moderate calorie content of about 17 kcal per treat, making it easier to incorporate into a controlled-calorie diet.
- Added mixed tocopherols as a natural preservative, which helps maintain freshness without synthetic colors or flavors.
Considerations
- This is a plant-based treat, so the protein source is primarily peanut-based; it’s not suitable for dogs that need animal protein in every snack for medical reasons.
- Peanut butter can be an allergen for a small number of dogs, so any history of peanut sensitivity would be a reason to avoid this product.
- As with any treat at 17 kcal each, portions should be limited, especially for small or overweight dogs, to avoid excess daily calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.

02
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.

03
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is commonly used as a palatability enhancer or occasional treat in pet diets, providing concentrated fats, modest protein, some fiber and micronutrients like vitamin E and B vitamins. Because it is calorie-dense and can contain added salt, sugar or harmful sweeteners, it should be offered sparingly and only in xylitol‑free formulations — avoid regular use in pets prone to obesity or pancreatitis.
04
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
05
Banana
Banana is used in pet foods and treats primarily as a palatable source of carbohydrates, natural sweetness, and soluble fiber, often added in small amounts for texture and flavor. It provides potassium, vitamin B6 and modest vitamin C and fiber that can support digestion, but its high sugar and calorie content means it should be limited—especially for overweight or diabetic dogs—and it offers little nutritional necessity for obligate carnivores like cats; banana peels are also hard to digest and generally avoided.
