How to Make Dachshund Treat

Baking dog treats for your dachshund instead of purchasing them affords you the opportunity to know precisely what your dog ingests. It also gives you the chance to include things in your pet's diet that are beneficial to its health, not in the rest of its diet. The process of making dog treats is similar to preparing a cookie recipe. You can add additional ingredients, such as small pieces of meat, a meat paste, a supplement, or peanut butter to this dough, as you desire.
