A couple weeks ago we posted a blog about how many calories your dog or cat should be eating daily. Today we thought it would be fun to post a couple of home-made treats that you can make for your dog or cat. A lot of these ingredients are things that you may already have in your home. Do you have any recipes for home-made dog or cat treats? If you don’t mind sharing the recipe, I’m sure our other readers would love to try them out.

You may need to add some water to for a dough-type consistency.
Knead the dough into a ball about ¼ inch.
Cut into 1 inch sized pieces.
Place the pieces onto a greased cookie sheet.
