Dog biscuits and treats are ridiculously expensive. And full of weird additives. Now, I am not an advocate of cooking my dog his food or anything, but I have pondered the idea of making him his own treats for over a year. Luckily, we taught him to like carrots right off the bat and that is always a cheap, healthy treat to give him. (OK, maybe he doesn't even absorb anything because his poo is orange the next day but we figure it gives him fiber.)
