These are great dog treats to make and decorate for holidays. The cookies pictured above were made for Valentine's Day. They are approximately 2" across. And they were a hit with the dogs!
Try looking for special shapes for each holiday of the year--and plan to include your pet when you make special desserts for the family!
If you are conservative with the amount of icing or frosting that you put on the cookies, you will still be able to limit the amount of sugar that your dog is eating.
And, if you just make these cookies on special occasions, you don't have to feel guilty about not sticking strictly to his diet!
