Holiday Baking for Your Dog

Dog treats in a bowl with holidays lights in the background

With the holidays near, why not include a simple and healthy dog treat recipe for your pup in the baking line-up?

During the holiday season, in particular, we are often tempted by an abundance of goodies for ourselves. Just as many people find joy in eating, it’s clear that our Can Do Canines do too. If you haven’t yet seen our video about what feeding time in our kennel looks like, we’re serving it up again for you here.
