Q&A ?How long can you store these? Can you freeze them hopefully?

A good basic dog cookie. But baker beware: make sure you are using (all-natural peanut butter!) Many peanut butters contain a lot of sugar and/or Xylitol which are a no-no for pets.

If your pet has a food allergy, such as wheat, any other type of flour can be used. I've made these many times and everyone loves them. A lot less expensive than store-bought, plus you know what goes into them.

I made these for my friends who have dogs and they were a great success. I included a copy of the recipe with the biscuits for them to make their own.
