Homemade dog treats - yummy and good for you!
Sit, down, play dead, spin, beg, shake paw, high five, wave - I'll do just about anything for a treat!
But treats can be expensive - especially if you purchase organic, all natural treats like we do. And some treats have nasty ingredients that aren't really good for us pups. So Mum will often make me some treats at home!
It's fun, smells up the house very well, and we drool until it's time to taste test!

- I am going to have to break down and make Miss Pitty Pat some treats although she seems perfectly content with the big box we get from Sam's. I know these would be much better for her as she is getting up in years. Thank you for the info.
