Last week we took Yoda to the vet. He has bleeding on his leg and a huge bruise and we were not sure what had happened. The vet’s said he had caught his leg most likely the fence in our garden. He was given some medication and sent home. The Vet also noted that our little Bichon is overweight. It’s not an easy thing when you have two dogs and they often steal each others food. I guess the best thing we can do is feed our dogs small amounts and give them healthy treats in moderation. It’s a work in progress and today I’m sharing a list of yummy and healthy homemade dog treats your dog will love.
20 Healthy Homemade Dog Treats Your Dog Will Love
Just as eating healthy is important for humans, it is also important for our pets too! Of course, too much of a good thing can still be a bad thing. So, be sure to give your dog these healthy homemade treats in moderation.

Aw no! I hope Yoda is all better soon! My two cats are the same, they eat each others food all the time so one of them is a bit overweight now but it’s so difficult!

There’s a dog next door that is really friendly… Might have to make some of these for her. I’m sure my neighbour won’t mind 🙂
We’ve been feeding our dogs homemade treats for as long as I can remember. That way I know exactly what they’re getting. Their favorites? Dehydrated chicken strips and anything with bacon and peanut butter!
These look good! I don’t have a dog (yet!) But it’s good to know for the future
My dog would love all of these, so I might give some of them a go!
