When I was young, our family had a dog named Bolo, who loved to eat people food and hated his dog food. His favorite food was anything packaged, a.k.a., junk food! Anytime he heard a paper rustle, even if he was in a deep sleep, he would jump up and run to the noise, assuming it was cookies, candy, or something else he considered delicious. His begging was relentless. I don’t think Bolo ever had a full belly!
Sometimes the paper sounds were just my school papers rustling, but you could never convince Bolo that there were no hidden treats. So I had to get up and find him a treat just so he would stop the begging!
These treats are perfect for dogs who are craving a delicious snack. They have a little bit of honey in the crust but are considered a savory cheesecake so your dog doesn’t get too much sugar. Just be sure to check the ingredient list to make sure your dog is not allergic to any of the items listed! Freeze any leftovers so you always have a homemade treat on hand.
