These days, more and more people are baking home cooked meals and treats for their dogs. Why?

Well the reasons are many but for starters, those of us who remember and had pets survive through the massive pet food recall of 2007 need no more reasons to provide fresh untainted foods to our pets.

And even to this day, dog owners feeding commercial foods must stay tuned-in and up-to-date with all the continued FDA announcements of pet food recalls, market withdrawals, warnings and safety alerts:

It's enough to drive a pet owner mad! So at-home preparation provides a way to avoid potential health risks to your Schnauzer from contamination. Plus fresh meals in general, are a healthy alternative to store bought dog treats and foods that are also loaded with preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients.

Another good reason to prepare homemade dog treats for your Schnauzer is because you'll save money. Think about it. An average bag of dog treats costs about $5 for 12 oz bag. And with feeding recommendations of: Feed between meals as a treat, the bag doesn't last very long. Now make a batch of our dog biscuits from scratch. They costs a whopping $1.09 to make and if stored in the freezer, can last for months.

There is no delight in owning something unshared
