Storage & Reheating:
These no-bake treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Always remember that these are occasional treats, not a complete diet, and introduce new snacks gradually. Consult your veterinarian if your dog has health conditions, allergies, or is on a special diet.
