After all of the treat and dog food recalls, Mommy decided that she was not going to take the chance of us getting sick or worse yet, dying from all of the tainted treats and dog food on the market these days.  After working in a cookie factory for over 25 years, she has learned a thing or two about baking and figured she would try her hand at making healthy treats for us and all of you, using only human grade and all natural ingredients.  Our sister, Mercedez is allergic to wheat, many dogs are, so we only use rice flour in our recipes. We recently developed 2 new Grain/Gluten Free recipes We will be adding a list of ingredients that we use, and their benefits……example:  Did you know that Vitamin E is an antioxident that help reduces inflammation and soothes painful joints?  Well, we do and that is why we include it in our recipes….it is also used as a preservative!

    1. Go ahead Mattie, my favorite are the PB/Pumpkin 😉 My kids get mighty jealous when Mommy jumps into the treat bag on long rides 🙂

    1. I use a teaspoon per 1 1/4 lb of treats. Each batch yields about 2.5 lbs and I use 2 teaspoons. I only use it in one recipe otherwise I use Vitamin E Oil
