BAKING FOR PETS | 18+ YRS Tina Falasca

Making your own treats can ensure you know what your pet is eating, and it’s easier than you think! Learn simple recipes that take little time, and strategies for storing treats long-term so that you can spend even less time baking. Your pet will be excited to realize the delicious home cooking they smelled is all for them! Recipes range from training treats to a small pet cake. Recipes and samples provided.
