Homemade Treats: Pup’s Tuna Fudge and Kitty Kisses

While there are many great dog treat options out there, it can be fun to make them at home for your pets! In addition, you can customize the ingredients. The recipes below are very versatile. You can use canned fish of different types, canned chicken, canned wet food, or any leftover proteins you have in your fridge! You can add shredded or grated cheese, or you can also use nutritional yeast for pets that don’t tolerate dairy. Consider this a base recipe for you to alter with what you have at home! Another benefit to making your own treats at home is you can make them the exact right size for your pet. 

Both of these treat types are fantastic training treats for both cats and dogs, and they will definitely hold your pet’s attention!
