Sammy Snacks With Peanut Butter Treat

Verified Jul 23, 2026

Dog · Treat All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

A crunchy, baked peanut butter treat for dogs of all ages, made primarily from rice, sweet potato, barley, and oats. Peanut butter provides flavor and some plant-based protein, while sweet potato and grains supply carbohydrates and fiber. This is designed as an occasional reward rather than a main source of nutrition.

KibbleLab Score
8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a simple, cereal-based baked biscuit that works well as an occasional snack for most healthy dogs. The ingredients are straightforward, with rice, sweet potato, barley, oats, and peanut butter as the core components, and the calorie content per treat is clearly stated, which makes portion control easier. It’s not a high-protein or meat-forward option, but that’s reasonable for a biscuit-style reward as long as the main diet is complete and balanced.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Straightforward ingredient list using familiar carbohydrates like rice, sweet potato, barley, and oats, which are generally well tolerated in most dogs.
  • Clearly labeled calories at 23 kcal per treat, which helps you avoid overfeeding, especially in smaller or less active dogs.
  • Low moisture, baked crunchy format can be useful for training or occasional rewards without being overly rich.
  • No common animal-protein allergens like chicken or beef, which may be helpful for some dogs that react to those ingredients (though it does contain peanut butter).

Considerations

  • This is a plant-based, cereal-heavy treat with relatively modest protein, so it should not be relied on as a significant protein source in the diet.
  • Contains peanut butter, which is fine for many dogs but not appropriate if your dog has shown sensitivity to peanuts or fattier treats in general.
  • Includes cane molasses for palatability, adding extra sugar; for dogs needing strict calorie or sugar control (for example, those prone to weight gain), these should be given sparingly.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.

02
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.

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
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.
View ingredient
05
Cane Molasses
Cane molasses is a viscous sweetener and palatability enhancer used in pet foods and treats to add simple carbohydrates, help bind ingredients, and contribute trace minerals like iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium along with small amounts of B vitamins. It can improve taste and texture but is high in sugars and calories, so it should be used sparingly—excessive intake can contribute to weight gain, dental issues, or unstable blood glucose in diabetic or obese pets.
