The Best Gift For Best Friend

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
heart shaped dog biscuits and purple dog collar are best gifts

Raise your hand if you are celebrating the year of the dog. That’s right. 2018 is all about that WOOF. There is nothing like the love of a good pet and I, along with millions of others, love dogs. Looking back 3 years ago I posted a pumpkin dog biscuit recipe here. This is the best gift for your best friend.

My Deacon loved that recipe, but pumpkin is not always readily available. After watching my daughter’s dog chow down on a few fallen apples in the yard last fall I wondered about using unsweetened applesauce in place of the pumpkin. Turns out that dogs love apples and unsweetened applesauce is safe for dogs to eat. So, this recipe is another best gift for your best friend.

So in addition to celebrating your favorite humans this Valentine’s Day consider showing your favorite Fido some love, too. This recipe for grain free dog biscuits is dog approved and with only 5 ingredients super easy to make.

Honest and loyal, Dogs are the truest friends and most reliable partner. Could you ask for a better Valentine?

    I bet my pups would love these. Love the pictures of the doggies but Caitlin is the star. She is so beautiful with her dog Levon. Deacon is one lucky dog to have a baker for a mom!

      Caitlin is a beauty inside and out and that Levon is a lover dog “pet me pet me please just rub my belly”. Deacon, on the other hand, is an aloof dog. She wants to be near and have me in her sights, but does not like to be pet……maybe some rescue trauma there.

    Thanks Lisa, and Sadie thanks you too! Applesauce contest entry, or just good use of the product?

      If you make the dog treats I would love to know if Sadie likes them as much as Deacon and Levon. This is not a recipe for a contest.

        Sadie, as I knew, loved the treats, as did her “boy friend” next door, Koda.
