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.


Why I Make These for Emma

Why Pumpkin Is a Super Ingredient for Dogs

🎃 High in fiber – helps digestion and regularity
🎃 Low in calories – perfect for treating without overfeeding
🎃 Packed with vitamins A, C, and E
🎃 Naturally sweet – dogs love the taste!
