Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats Today, I am super excited to share my techniques for making another truly wholesome dog treat with you.

These pup treats are the perfect snack to make ahead of time for your cuddly pooch as a reward for their love and companionship, obedience, potty-training, or for any other training in general.  My fur baby seems to think that the treats taste better when they're made in different cute shapes.

Image by oritslama from Pixabay Tips for Bathing Your Pup Getting Ready Before you start giving your dog a bath, make sure you have everything you need. This includes dog shampoo, towels, a brush, and treats to reward your pup for being a good boy or girl. Choosing the Right Shampoo Not all shampoos are created equal! Make sure to use a shampoo specifically made for dogs. Human shampoo can be too harsh for your furry friend's skin. Getting Wet When it's time to get your dog wet, use lukewarm water. Make sure to wet your pup's fur thoroughly before applying shampoo. Be gentle and make sure to avoid getting water in their ears and eyes.
