These home made dog biscuits can be given as a treat or as a meal, though a treat would be more ideal, i guess it depends on the size and weight of your dog.
When baking homemade dog biscuits is a fun way to show your furry friend some extra love. Not to mention, it’s a great way to use up some of the ingredients you have left over in the cupboard or fridge.
We had some sweet potato left over from a meal we made earlier in the week, so I whipped these up and baked them for our dogs.
Easy to say they loved them, and it made me feel good knowing the nutritional value it gave them.
