The month of March has many meaningful events. For basketball fans it’s following March Madness, for others, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is a day they look forward to. In our family, we celebrate Birthdays and our Anniversary.
In the Power of 5 Test Kitchen, we are starting a new tradition this month… healthy treats for the furry four-legged friends we love so much!
Dog Madness!
With three furry grandsons, Dexter, Murray and Stewart, plus our furry great nephew Lenny (pictured here), I made healthy dog treats with them in mind!
Our furry loved ones deserve tasty, wholesome treats made with natural ingredients that promote health and wellness. These healthy dog treats have no additives or preservatives, just organic ingredients.
So I am proud to introduce Melissa’s “BowWow of 5” Dog Treats straight from the Power of 5 Test Kitchen!
Healthy Dog Treats
Healthy dog treats are easy to make in your kitchen. I’ll show you with this first recipe how easy it is. So give this recipe a try and stay tuned to my Instagram account @powerof5testkitchen to see cute furry faces enjoying the BowWow of 5 dog treats!
To Healthy Cooking and Eating, and Loving up our Pups!
