Healthy for me too I think! Thanks for creating the recipe.
My pleasure, Gwendalynne! Let us know if you both like them ;-).
Our little girl hasn’t had to have any antibiotics since she started taking cranberry supplements for her chronic bladder infections. Cranberries are freaking awe4some!
That’s wonderful! It feels great when we can take some control in the care of our pets and ourselves.
Très bien! If I’m gonna cook for pets I want there to be benefits & fully natural. Your recipes are always worth making all year but I” love the Christmas theme. Merci!
Avec plaisir, Kelly! I feel the same way when it comes to baking for pets, it has to be exceptionally healthy or I might as well toss them a piece of roast and be done with it. 🙂
