Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Always remember to feed treats in moderation and consult your veterinarian if your dog has any health issues or dietary restrictions.
Variations:
- Substitute sweet potato puree for the applesauce for a different flavor.
- Add a tablespoon of peanut butter (ensure it’s xylitol-free) for extra taste.
- Mix in some chopped blueberries or cranberries for added nutrition and flavor.
