If your pup is anything like my dog Sue, meaty snacks are the way to her heart. But instead of store-bought, processed bites with mystery ingredients, I started making raw meat dog treats right at home. Not only do I know what’s in them, but I get to watch Sue light up every time I pull a treat out of the fridge. 🐶❤️
Whether you're new to raw feeding or already a believer, these treats are packed with benefits, protein, and pure joy. Let’s dive into some of Sue’s favorite raw meat recipes, ingredient benefits, and important safety tips.
