D.I.Y Healthy Dog Treat Recipe

October 13, 2022

             As pet owner's we love to reward our dogs with healthy and tasty treats. There are plenty of great treat options carried by your local pet store, but it can be fun and often healthier to make the treats yourself too. When making treats for your pup you want to be sure you are using ingredients that are healthy and edible for dogs. I like to use organic on all ingredients possible, but this is not necessary. These recipes are easy to make with limited ingredients. You can always add or subtract to a recipe if your dog is picky. Let us know what ones you end up baking and how your dog enjoyed them! 

**You can also add flax seeds to either recipe. Please note I am not the creator of these recipes. I have baked them for my dog and wanted to share them with you.
