We know dogs love treats but when they get homemade treats with the smell of their favorite thing in the world (besides you, of course!) baking, they go crazy! There are so many additives in store bought treats and this ensures your four legged family members get only the best you can give them. Did I mention they’re super easy to make and with ingredients you probably already have on hand? These are great for your own furbabies or to give to the special pups in your life for a birthday or holiday. Just wrap them in a cute bag or tin and watch their tails wag with thanks!
I have feedback from pet mom’s in case you need further convincing. Here are two of my favorite responses from people that I gifted them to. “I had to hide them because she kept staring at the treat tin, then me, then the treat tin until I gave in.” The other said, “after Mocha ate hers, she would wait for Ginger to get distracted, grab her treat and run!” Snatchworthy treats are the best kind! The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
