Cheerios, Banana & Bacon Dog Treats Recipe

Special notes on these tasty dog treats:

Make sure to use the original Cheerios and not the varieties that contain sugar.

Cheerios contain wheat, which isn’t bad for dogs in moderation. Do not use raw bacon. Bacon should be thoroughly cooked. It is best to use unsalted bacon, but regular is fine in moderation.

When finished frying bacon place it on a paper towel to absorb excess fat. Remember not to include the bacon grease because dogs can get high cholesterol too.

The Cheerios, Banana & Bacon Doggie Treats are meant to be used as a snack and should not be used as a meal replacement for your pet.

If you have any questions about this recipe and or the ingredients used, I urge you to contact your veterinarian.
