Take Paws

If you like to make your own dog treats, this is the greatest invention ever! It is a  Multi-Bone Cookie Cutter from www.gooddogexpress.com  and will save lots of time.  It really is easy and quick to whip up a batch of healthy dog treats! My dogs luv the home baked stuff.  I don't even do homemade for me. Go figure!  But homemade treats are so much healthier and you can make everything from peanut butter treats to apple cinnamon to veggie treats.  Give it a try. You and your dogs will get hooked on this.  Saving money AND healthy? What could be better?

A great source for recipes is bullwrinkle.com   or just google for dog treat recipes - there are dozens of sites on the web!  Bon Appetite!
