Top tips

For a harder cookie, allow the treats to cool inside the oven completely before removing

Warning - do not substitute cranberries for raisins. 

While dried cranberries add a delicious fruity flavour to these treats, do not replace them with raisins. Grapes and raisins are not suitable for dogs –– consuming just a few can be dangerous, causing acute renal failure.

Although these treats are made using natural sugars and dog-friendly ingredients,  they’re best consumed after a long walk so that your canine companion stays as healthy as possible.
