It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas! I’ve got a new recipe, hot out of the oven and just in time for the holidogs! Spread the joy of the season with this Peppermint Holidog Christmas Dog Treat Recipe. Perfect for parties and gifts (for dogs only, of course), this treat features a hint of peppermint. I’ve used the extract for my cookies, but feel free to use the fresh stuff. Peppermint is safe for your dog to eat and is believed to be beneficial in treating stomach problems.
