If you have a dog or dogs as a part of your loving family you know that they always seem to want something to eat! Of course you can’t give them something all the time, but a treat is always welcomed. There is nothing like homemade dog treats, just like there is nothing like fresh baked homemade cookies! Besides the taste however there are some other really BIG benefits and the biggest one is YOU KNOW what is in the treat, you don’t have to worry about allergies and other problems that arise from some dog food items and I know that makes everyone feel better! So we have some really tasty homemade dog treats here for you today. All made with fresh and wholesome ingredients. Don’t forget to check the little list of foods that are harmful to doggies at the bottom of the post! So let’s get rollin and baking!
Nothing says love like home-made — surprise your little ones with something scrumptious!!!

- Apple seeds
- Apricot pits
- Avocados
- Cherry pits
