Healthy Homemade Dog Treats

Christmas just came and went, much faster than I would have liked, and every year I make my friends and family homemade baked Christmas treats. This year, I decided to bake up something special for our two year old poodle-shitzu mix, Kasha, as well. I am happy to report that my recipe testers recorded yelps of excitement and repeated enthusiastic tail wagging! I even shipped them off to some of my dog-owning friends, who reported similar results! I highly recommend you whip up a batch of these for your furry friend and even though they are meant for dogs, they are perfectly safe for human consumption as well.
