The Best Fire Hydrant Graham Cracker Dog Treats

Graham cracker dog treats are a tasty, healthy snack that your pup will love. The recipe is simple and only requires a few simple ingredients.

Why do dogs and fire hydrants seem to go together?

Dogs like marking their territory, and what better place to mark your territory than a prominent object that sticks up out of the street and draws attention? They urinate on those objects to let other dogs know where they’ve been.

That is why your dog will often sniff it first, and then, leave their response.

We joke and call it “checking their pee-mail”.

Now, I am not implying that these Fire Hydrant Graham Cracker Dog Treats should be whizzed on – but that is why we picked such a fun shaped cookie cutter to make the treats with.

You can really use ANY cookie cutter you want, but my fire hydrant one can be found HERE on Amazon. It is part of a set of dog themed cutters that will make for super cute treats of any kind! I LOVE that they are made in the USA!

Can dogs eat graham crackers?

Graham crackers are a sweet flavored cracker made with graham flour that originated in the United States in the mid-19th Century, with commercial development from about 1880. It is eaten as a snack food, usually honey- or cinnamon-flavored, and is used as an ingredient in some foods.

For dogs, we are talking about just the plain ones – no additional flavoring added.

The answer is YES, they can! But it’s best if only done in moderation. As with any sweet treats, excess amounts that your pup eats will likely cause your dog to gain weight, including a host of other unintended negative health consequences.

That is why we blend the graham cracker crumbs of this recipe with other items like peanut butter to make these treats a little healthier. As long as you use these as rewards, you and your pup will be fine.

Can dogs eat peanut butter?

What Type of Peanut Butter is Best for Dogs? Generally speaking, any peanut butter that doesn’t contain xylitol (or chocolate) should be fine for a dog. It can be a good source of protein and healthy fat for your dog — in moderation, of course. However, some peanut butter is healthier than others.

We like to opt for natural peanut butter – or even organic. Bark Bistro makes a great “Buddy Budder” that is very safe for Fido. No hydrogenated oil, palm oil, high fructose corn syrup, stabilizers, xylitol, added sugar or salt can be found in it – so that is a win for us!

Can dogs eat cinnamon?

If you feed your dog appropriate, healthy amounts of cinnamon, it can often gift them with anti-inflammatory properties, slow bacterial growth, and help older or obese dogs fight the risk of contracting diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels and raising their insulin resistance.

Can dogs have milk?

Yes. Cow’s milk is generally not a problem for dogs – rarely they have an issue with dairy, very rarely. It doesn’t matter if you are talking fat free – 1% – 2% – or even whole milk, they are all fine for Fido.

It does have lactose – a sugar – in it so keep it in moderation. A few tablespoons can make for a nice treat or be added easily to any recipe. We use a whole cup here – but this recipe makes a LOT of treats!
