Who wouldn’t want to make no bake sweet potato dog treats ready in 5 minutes in this heat!

What could be easier than one bowl oat and banana dog treats, simple no mixer, no fuss, no separate bowls for wet and dry, just mash, stir, and bake. Soft enough for older dogs and easy to adjust. The first batch I made looked uneven, slightly wonky, and smelled like warm porridge. The dog didn’t…
