Baking for Special Occasions – 19 Easy Dog Treat Recipes

One of my favorite ways to save a little money is to make special occasion treats for my pups right in my own kitchen. The dogs like it too; so much so that whenever our kitchen timer goes off Luna thinks whatever is in the oven must be for her.

I have found that basic (high quality) biscuits are often cheaper to buy than to buy the ingredients. They are also great to have on hand, so I usually keep a box or two around. But, special treats for birthdays, holidays, and other special events are usually a bit more pricey.

The brands and stores know you are buying something special, so you might be willing to shell out a little extra cash for it. I think it’s especially true around the holidays. The cute, but somewhat gimmicky treats and toys are marked up quite a bit.

Because of this, I love making Luna (and now Ralph) yummy homemade treats that are worth celebrating. Plus, making your own dog treats has a few benefits!
