Making your own treats might not be as simple as popping into the dog store or pouring them some kibble, but it is also very satisfying.
Our doggies love us, and we love them, and so, what's a little bit of an extra effort to make them something that is yummy, as well as healthy! Homemade treats are not just cost-effective, they're also hygienic and you can customise them to your pooch's needs. Have a geriatric pooch? No problem! Have a doggo with kidney issues, you can customise treats for him too!
