Dogs, cats, rabbits, and even guinea pigs all love receiving special treats from their human counterparts.  However, we need to watch how much we feed them and what ingredients are listed in those store-bought treats.  While many places now carry all-natural biscuits, they can sometimes be pricey.  So why not try making your own?

Homemade treats have less calories than salty store bought treats. There are many dog and cat treat recipes that are easy to make and exclude the nasty sodium and preservatives that can be found in commercial treats.  Check online for recipes that include all natural ingredients and yummy flavours to attract your pet.  Most of the ingredients used are food items that you probably already have around the house- such as peanut butter, beef broth, and raw vegetables.
