Did someone say treat? I believe I just heard Madison run from the other side the house when I said that word.
If you own a dog, you probably would agree on these few facts about treats:
1. You should always keep them on hand;
2. You know your dog’s favorite brand;
3. Some are healthier than others, and they can get a bit expensive!
I did a bit of research to find treats that would keep Madison healthy and strong and was delighted to see there were lots of recipes for DIY dog treats! Here are some of my favorites below
