Are Carrots a Good Snack for Dogs?

Carrots are a healthy snack unless your dog is allergic to them. They are low in calories, loaded with vitamin A, beta-carotene, potassium, and fibre. The best way to feed carrots to your dog is to cut them into small pieces so they are easier for your dog to eat or use in a biscuit recipe as above.

Baking your own dog biscuits is not only a healthier option for your pet, but also saves you money in the process.

If you are looking for ways to keep your pup healthy and well-fed, then baking dog biscuits is the perfect way to do so without spending too much money.
