<\/a>I was shocked when I read a recent report<\/a> on the quality of most commercial dog foods and treats. Truth is, most commercial pet food contains harmful ingredients and preservatives. We got a puppy almost one year ago, and it scared me to think that for months we were feeding him food which I now know is not trustworthy. I love my dog just like family and I wouldn’t feed my family garbage. My dog, “3-Colors”, is only about a year old, but I want to make sure he has a long and healthy life. That is why I started looking into making my own natural and healthy dog food and dog treats. Here are two simple dog biscuit recipes that my dog loves! As you can see from the ingredients, it is good enough quality for a human to eat.<\/p>\n
