Christmas is around the corner and our greatest companions don’t want us to forget them! Homemade dog treats are the perfect gift for your best friend. These apple pumpkin dog treats will be a favorite of your family’s most loved canines and you can feel fine letting them steal a few extra. The ingredients are all natural.
This year we give tribute to our two favorite companions–one we lost this past year and another that is constantly there to keep me in shape. And if I come to bed late decides that she gets my side of the bed. And hates the cold unless she’s running after birds in it. And has an alarm clock that wakes me up at 5:00am every morning. Even when it’s 8 degrees outside.
So let’s celebrate by giving them some apple pumpkin dog treats and the chance to tear apart all the wrapping paper this holiday season.
