With all the pet food recalls and even the dog treat recalls, I’ve become hesitant to buy store-bought dog treats.

So for the next year, I’ve focused on making sure my dogs are receiving the healthiest choices for their treats. Plus, it’s fun and so easy!

In my search for healthy dog, I found a lot of recipes use baby food! I knew I had to make the most of this and give it a shot.

What kind of baby food can I give my dog?

While this recipe calls for whole wheat flour, you can substitute regular flour. It will definitely work.
