In no case is it desirable for your dog to be debunking dog candy from morning to night and watching fairy tales on the couch. On the contrary, give the dog candy in pieces and ideally in the same situations where you give him a treat.

Last but not least, it is important to add that even dog candy has a limited expiration date . Therefore, put the baked pieces in a sealable jar and keep in the refrigerator for a maximum of a week. If you have leftover dog treats, you can freeze them.
