- Use Dog-Friendly Ingredients: Avoid using ingredients that are toxic or harmful to dogs, such as chocolate, garlic, and onions.
- Follow Proper Storage Guidelines: Store homemade treats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid using plastic bags, as they can harbor bacteria and cause mold to grow.
