General Instructions For Baking
Don’t Let The Cookies Stick
When baking, just like when you bake things for yourself, you should make sure that these dog treats don’t stick to the pan.
To make sure that these treats don’t stick to the pan you should use a non-stick pan. If you don’t have that lining a regular pan with parchment paper is also a great alternative.
Don’t Burn Your Dog’s Tongue
When you finish cooking all of these treats let them sit until they are completely cool. This can take longer depending on the treat. Wait an hour if you need to, safety first!
Keep Your Treats The Right Way
You don’t want your time and money to go to waste! Make sure after you make your treats you put them in a airtight bag or put them in the freezer in a ziploc bag.
If you do put the treats in the freezer, make sure you let the treats thaw before feeding them to your dog.
DON’T USE THESE INGREDIENTS
Only use all natural peanut butter in these recipes with no added sugar or salt. Any peanut butter with artificial sweeteners could be very harmful to your dog.
