Peanut Butter Flavored Decorated Dog Treats, $4.49 at Trader Joe's
The first of many summer releases expected to hit Trader Joe's's pet lineup this year, these Peanut Butter Flavored Decorated Dog Treats are so visually appealing you'd almost wish they were made for humans. Sold in a 6.76-ounce bag for $4.49, each treat is made with a wheat flour base and hand-decorated into a variety of colorful summer shapes.
You've got watermelon slices, ice cream cones, palm trees and baseball-inspired bones, all tucked inside a transparent resealable bag so you can easily keep an eye on what's left inside. Even better, each treat is roughly two inches long, making them perfectly sized for the big dogs of the house while still easy to break into smaller pieces for the little ones in the family.
Why Do Dogs Love Peanut Butter So Much?
If you're a fan of peanut butter yourself, it's pretty easy to see why a dog would love it too. But the truth is, dogs don't just love peanut butter because it tastes good. According to experts, they're naturally drawn to it due in part to it being packed with protein and fat, something their bodies are wired to respond to.
On top of that, most store-bought peanut butter has some amount of sugar inside, which only makes it an even more enticing treat. Add to that its nutty scent, sticky texture and ability to elevate chew toys with a single spoonful, and it's no wonder your furry friend can seemingly sense the jar being opened from the other side of the house.
If you're making a TJ's run this week, snag a bag before they disappear at the end of the season. They'll only be around for the summer months, and we already know just how fleeting that can already be. Stock up if you have to and watch your pup's eyes widen with joy once you break the seal and pull out the first treat.
