Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a month. Always remember that these are occasional snacks and should be fed in moderation. Introduce new treats gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has health conditions or allergies.
Variations:
- Substitute the carrots with finely shredded sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
- Add 1/4 cup of mashed banana for a sweet twist.
- Mix in 1/4 cup of unsweetened pumpkin puree instead of the applesauce.
