Nobody knows your pet like you do so take special note of his particular taste in food and look for ways to satisfy his palate. It is recommended that 1/3 of his meal is starch based while 2/3 are meat, with healthy servings of vegetables and fruit mixed in.

Either way, make sure that the pieces are cut into small enough pieces to eliminate the possibility of the dog choking on his food.

Homemade dog treats can be served fresh or stored-for our convenience. If you want to store them, cook and combine all the ingredients and keep them in the freezer until needed.
