Pets love a homemade baked good just like the rest of us. Making a dog biscuit recipe or cat treat is as easy as whipping up a batch of cookies for the kids.
Try one of these delicious recipes for your dog or cat to give them a special snack or as Pet Party food.
With furry friends, there are some ingredients you need to avoid depending on the animal, such as no chocolate for dogs or cats. But for the most part, pet treats are made from the same ingredients as people treats.
If you have concerns about what foods are safe for your pet to consume, you should always check with your vet. For further reference, go to the ASPCA's Section on People Foods for Pets.
