Peanut Butter Original vs. Vegan Cheeze vs. Purple Pup: Which Scratch Treats Kit Is Right for Your Dog?

Each Scratch Treats kit follows the same simple rhythm. You just add water, roll out the dough, and bake. The only real choice is which aroma you want filling your kitchen today. Here is how to pick your favorite.

Peanut Butter Original

Best for: First-time bakers, kids who want to help, and dogs who live for the classics.

This is our flagship recipe for a reason. As soon as these hit the oven, the smell of warm peanut butter and toasted oats takes over the house. It is the kind of scent that brings the whole family into the kitchen to see what’s cooking.

If you are new to the baking ritual, start here. The dough is easy to handle, and the reaction from your dog will be immediate. We love hearing from parents who use this kit to teach their kids how to bake for their best friend—it turns a rainy afternoon into a core memory.

Flavor profile: Hearty, nutty, and familiar. It is a crowd-pleaser that rarely leaves a crumb behind.

Vegan Cheeze

Best for: Sensitive tummies, savory-loving pups, and neighbors looking for a dairy-free treat that still packs a punch.

Do not let the name fool you—this kit smells exactly like a fresh batch of cheesy crackers. We use nutritional yeast to get that deep, savory umami flavor without using a drop of dairy. It is a fantastic alternative for dogs who prefer a salt-of-the-earth reward over something sweet.

If you’ve been navigating food sensitivities or just want to switch up your routine, this kit is your answer. You get all the savory satisfaction of cheese while keeping things simple and clean.

Flavor profile: Rich, savory, and complex. It is the sophisticated choice for the dog who knows what they like.

Purple Pup

Best for: Wellness-minded pet parents, colorful kitchens, and anyone who loves a good conversation starter.

Purple Pup is the kit that stops people in their tracks. That vibrant color comes entirely from ground beet and purple sweet potato—no artificial dyes, just vibrant plants. It brings a boost of antioxidants to the treat jar along with a beautiful, earthy look.

Choose this kit if you want to try something truly unique. It is a joy to roll out the purple dough, and it makes for a beautiful gift for a fellow dog lover. It’s wellness you can actually see.

Flavor profile: Earthy and slightly sweet. It is a gentle, clean flavor that dogs warm up to quickly.
