Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats with Relief+ Solventless CBD
By Maximio Cruze | Published May 1, 2026
Your dog deserves the same quality ingredients you put in your own food. This four-step recipe combines whole wheat flour, natural peanut butter, raw honey, and one dropper of VetsGrade Relief+ Solventless CBD Tincture into a batch of homemade treats your dog will do backflips for.
Prep: 15 min | Bake: 15 to 20 min | Yield: approximately 24 treats | CBD per batch: ~33mg
Why Make Your Own CBD Dog Treats
A lot of commercial CBD dog treats can vary widely in potency, ingredient quality, and extraction method for the API infusion. When you make treats at home using a tincture you already trust, you control every variable: the CBD dose per treat, the ingredients your dog consumes, the freshness of every batch, and even the cost.
Relief+ uses solventless extraction from type 3 hemp, meaning no chemical solvents are used at any stage of production. When you bake CBD into a treat your dog eats, the purity of the extraction method matters more, not less. There are no residual solvents in solventless CBD rosin. That is not a marketing claim. It is a verifiable fact on every batch COA.
These treats work year-round, not just during the holidays. Thunderstorms, travel, vet visits, fireworks, separation anxiety, and general daily calm are all valid reasons to keep a batch in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
Flour
2½ cups whole wheat flour
Safe for most dogs. Substitute oat flour or brown rice flour in equal measure for dogs with wheat sensitivity.
Peanut Butter
1 cup natural peanut butter
Must be xylitol-free. Check the label. Ingredients should read peanuts and salt only.
Egg
1 large egg
Binds the dough and adds protein. Use a room temperature egg for easier mixing.
Water
1 cup water
Hydrates the dough. Add gradually if your dough becomes too stiff before all the flour is incorporated.
Honey
2 tablespoons raw honey
Safe for adult dogs in small amounts. Do not use in treats for puppies under one year old.
Hemp Extract Infusion
1 full dropper (1mL) Relief+ Solventless Tincture
Approximately 33mg full spectrum CBD extract per batch @ 1mL infusion rate. Solventless rosin extraction. Third-party tested. No residual solvents.
How to Make Them
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pull your egg out of the refrigerator now so it reaches room temperature before mixing.
Pro tip: Use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment for easier cleanup and more even heat distribution.
Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and egg first. Once incorporated, add the water, peanut butter, honey, and one full dropper of Relief+ Solventless Tincture. Stir until a stiff, workable dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time.
Pro tip: Add the tincture with the wet ingredients so it distributes evenly throughout the entire batch rather than concentrating in one area.
Roll and Cut
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out. Roll to approximately half an inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into shapes. Bone shapes are traditional, but any cutter works. Re-roll scraps and cut again until all dough is used.
Pro tip: The size of your cutter determines the CBD dose per treat. Smaller cutters yield more treats and a lower dose per treat. Larger cutters yield fewer treats and a higher dose per treat.
Bake and Cool
Place treats on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes depending on size. Treats are done when the edges are lightly golden and the surface feels dry to the touch. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Warm treats can cause digestive upset.
Pro tip: For crunchier treats your dog can really work through, bake for the full 20 minutes and leave in the oven with the door cracked for an additional 10 minutes after turning the heat off.
Dosage Guide
How Much CBD Is in Each Treat?
One full dropper of Relief+ delivers approximately 33mg of full spectrum solventless CBD extract into the entire batch. The per-treat dose depends entirely on how many treats your batch yields, which is determined by the size of your cookie cutter. The math is very simple!
~1.4mg
per treat at 24 treats
~2.1mg
per treat at 16 treats
~2.75mg
per treat at 12 treats
~3.3mg
per treat at 10 treats
Start with one treat per day. Wait one hour before assessing the effect. For dogs that need a stronger response, increase by half a treat at a time. Dogs under 25 lbs generally respond well to the lower end of this range. Dogs over 50 lbs may benefit from two treats, a stronger initial dosage per treat, or a larger cutter size.
To increase the total CBD per batch, simply use two droppers of Relief+ instead of one. This doubles the per-treat dose without changing the recipe.
Storage and Shelf Life
Because these treats contain egg and peanut butter with no preservatives, proper storage matters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, refrigerated for up to two weeks, or frozen for up to three months. Freeze individual treats on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer bag so they don't stick together. Thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
This recipe uses one full dropper (1mL) of VetsGrade Relief+ Solventless Tincture, which delivers approximately 33mg of full spectrum CBD per batch. The per-treat CBD content depends on how many treats your batch yields. A batch of 24 treats contains approximately 1.4mg of CBD per treat. A batch of 12 larger treats contains approximately 2.75mg per treat. To increase the dose, use two droppers per batch or make fewer, larger treats.
Natural peanut butter is safe for dogs when it does not contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs. Always check the ingredient label before using peanut butter in homemade dog treats. Look for peanut butter with only peanuts and salt as ingredients. Avoid reduced-fat or sugar-free varieties, which are more likely to contain xylitol.
Yes. You can increase the CBD content per treat by using more than one dropper of VetsGrade Relief+ per batch, by making fewer and larger treats from the same batch, or by giving your dog more than one treat per serving. Start with one treat and wait one hour before assessing whether a larger serving is appropriate for your dog's size and needs.
Solventless CBD is extracted using only heat and mechanical pressure, with no chemical solvents used at any stage. This means no residual solvents can be present in the final product. For homemade dog treats where the CBD is baked into food your pet consumes, solventless extraction provides an additional layer of purity assurance that solvent-extracted CBD cannot match. Every batch of Relief+ is third-party tested and the results are available by Batch Identification Number on the VetsGrade COA Library.
Homemade dog treats without preservatives typically last 5 to 7 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 2 weeks refrigerated, and up to 3 months frozen. Because these treats contain egg and peanut butter, refrigeration is recommended for any batch not consumed within a few days.
Whole wheat flour is safe for most dogs and is commonly used in homemade dog treat recipes. Dogs with known wheat or gluten sensitivities should use oat flour or brown rice flour in equal substitution. Always consult your veterinarian if your dog has a history of food sensitivities before introducing new ingredients.
