Otehr Dog Treat Recipes
Two Paws Up
I would not post recipes that I have not tried myself. Well, not me personally, but my pups.
Three of three dogs all approved! That's one yorkie, one APBT, and one St Bernard/Collie mix.
If you're worried that your pooch is a picky eater, well the St. Bernard/ Collie is a very picky eater, only eating select dog cookies. And, well, these dog biscuits suit her taste buds.
