I love my little fur babies just as much as any member of my family... if not more! I love to spoil them with treats. However, there are so many horrible additives in many of the dog treats out there. My dogs are getting up there in years and they are on very strict diets. I love making things especially for them. Here is a great recipe for some healthy and homemade, gluten free treats for your pups. [sg_popup id="1"][/sg_popup]
