homemade dog treatsHave you considered making treats for your pets by yourself? There are so many homemade treat recipes for dogs available online, so you can try to pleasantly surprise your furry family member. They are usually quite easy to make and the process can be the way to bond with other family members. More important, homemade treats can benefit your dog. 

There are many treats you can buy in pet stores; many of them are of high quality. However, homemade food is usually healthier and more delicious than one bought in the store. Why? First of all, you know exact ingredients, their quality and quantity, so you actually know what your pet is eating. Products you buy are usually full of additives, since they are made to last longer and to be more delicious than they would be naturally.

Another benefit of making treats for dog by your own is the cost. Store bought treats for dogs are usually overpriced, so you can even save some money if you turn to homemade ones. Once you start making dog treats you will realize that it’s cheaper than buying them in pet stores.

So, it’s healthier and cheaper, but you might think it’s too complicated and time-consuming. Well, commonly, it takes about 30 or 40 minutes to bake homemade treats. If you make a few batches, you can even save some time and be set for several weeks. Well, two hours a month are not such a waste of time if you know you are doing something great for your beloved pet. However, don’t be so strict. If you cannot bake it every time, you can combine store bought and homemade dog treats.
