This weekend, many of us are planning a good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt around our homes and gardens. So, why not get our pups involved? We’ve put together this quick and easy recipe for doggy Easter eggs!

For this recipe, you will need:

- 140g of xylitol-free peanut butter

- 140g of coconut oil

Tip: you could also use a small ice cube tray

Method

- Add the xylitol-free peanut butter and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl
