Last Updated on June 8, 2021 by April

While going shopping for treats to give your dog can be overwhelming with all the choices at first, once you look closer and find out how toxic store bought pet food can be it really seems like there aren’t any options at all.

Like us though, our dogs have healthier alternatives and they are usually made best at home. If you are on the hunt for some delicious DIY dog treat recipes that are nutritious and will make your dog’s mouth water, read on.

I honestly have never met a dog that doesn’t like peanut butter. While my puppy was neutral to it at first, she definitely goes nuts for it now!

Fresh Breath Treat

Found From DogVills

Stinky mouth? No worries! Clean it up with these fresh breath recipes! Also, my personal recommendation for bad breath is to give your dog raw bone marrow. It will clean their teeth and those teeth will shine like no other. Seriously, try it! I am actually JEALOUS of my pup’s teeth. They are so white as if she gets laser whitening every week, but it’s just the power of a raw diet.

If you are like me, you hardly trust any pet companies. They make overpriced toxic foods that shorten the lives of our pets just to make a quick buck. The pet food industry is run by the big brands who have the power to tell you what you should or should not put into your fur baby’s mouth so naturally they are going to trick you into buying their cheaply made products. If you haven’t already, I recommend doing plenty of research into what you feed your pets so that they can live the lives you want them to. Thank you so much for reading and let me know your favorite recipe in the comments!
