I figured even my little black and very active puppy MikMik deserves a homemade treat! You can make these dog cookies easily – the bonus is that they aid in dog’s fresh breath. And think about packaging them in nice tins, labelling them with names of your friend’s pet and giving them for special occasions. After all – Christmas will be here before we know it!
