Homemade treats and cookies are an excellent alternative to commercially produced treats. By making your own goodies, you know exactly what you put into them (normally fresh, wholesome ingredients instead of chemicals and preservatives), and you can custom-tailor the Dog Treats and cookies for your canine pal - especially handy if he has allergies to certain types of foods.

Molly has done this a couple times when she was younger. She was fine, but I always watched to make sure she was going to the bathroom and nothing was stuck. We now put vice grips on the end of the stick and take it away once it's small. We tried a Kong piece that is meant to do the same thing but she always managed to get it out The vice grips have worked wonders for us and she's never hurt her teeth or anything on it- of course we're always watching her while she has one.
