10 OF THE MOST DELICIOUS HOME MADE DOG TREAT RECIPES

Everybody loves to indulge every now and then, and our dogs are no different. With so many of the ‘human’ foods unfit for pup-consumption, it can be easy to get stuck constantly relying on store-bought treat bags. The problem with this is that your pet won’t necessarily savour these the way they did the first time you gave them, plus they can contain artificial preservatives, colours and other nasties. It doesn’t have to be this way, though; we’ve compiled a mixture of home baked, frozen and raw dog treat recipes for you to make for your hungry hound.
