This easy recipe makes a soft cookie our dog Caddis loves. Making dog treats from scratch allows you to control their size. These treats can be made smaller for training, or larger for special occasions. Moreover, making videos about dog treats allows you to post embarrassing photos of your dog. Its a great way to use up extra squash or pumpkin that you might have in your pantry, or straight out of the garden. Our dog has been known to help herself to baby squash and pumpkins out of the garden.
