• Keep It Simple: We’re all about keeping these treats easy to make, so stick to no more than four ingredients. This helps avoid overcomplicating things (and keeps your dog’s tummy happy!).
• Watch the Portions: These treats are meant to be fun, not a meal. Keep them as an occasional snack, especially if your dog has any dietary restrictions.

Remember. . . don’t attempt to eat your pups treats before they get some.
