I am always creating recipes for my husband and to share will all of our Craft Box Girls friends but I never created homemade treats for my pups. I thought Take Your Dog to Work Day was the perfect chance to treat my furry friends to homemade treats. All three of my pups loved each one of these delicious homemade treats! I also stopped by 11 Alive's Atlanta & Co to share these recipes and other DIY's for your pup. Watch the segment HERE!
