I don’t know about you, but I love to spoil my dog, so we have a routine where I give him a midday treat on the days that I’m working out of my home office. And my dog loves this ritual so much, that if I forget to give him his treat on time, he never fails to remind me with a hard nose bump on my leg or a leap straight into the air that says “Hey, you’re late, where’s my treat!!”.
So recently I’ve gotten a little bored with manufactured pet treats and that set me on the path to research some sources for making DIY Dog Treats. The cool thing about these dog treats, is that they’ll not only save you money, but you’ll know exactly what ingredients your dog is ingesting and the project of making them can also be a fun kid’s activity.
