Healthy Homemade Dog Treats

With the holidays approaching, I thought it would be fun to add a page of gifts any dog would be proud to give his or her owner. So I present, to your best friend, a selection of unique treats for their owners. Who says a K-9 can’t give a gift to the ones they love? These are all items at Collectibles Today, a great place to fill out your gift list for both four-legged or two legged customers! Please CLICK HERE to reach the the Gifts for Doggie’s Owner page.

Our pets are at risk! I just added a new page detailing information all of us dog owners need immediately. Andrew Lewis author of “Dog Food Secrets” has documented the world of commercial pet food and we must stop feeding store-bought pet food to our pets today. Please click on the “Dog Food Secrets!” page and see for yourself. Thanks.

This is Amber’s (pictured above) favorite treat so far.

1/2 cup unbleached flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 apple — chopped or grated

1 egg — beaten
