Your dog will go crazy for these homemade salmon dog treats! This recipe is made from ingredients that contain beneficial nutrients to supplement your dog's diet, so you won't feel guilty about offering them as an occasional treat.
Salmon is loaded with good fats, giving your dog a nice health boost. Salmon is known as a good protein source and is a common ingredient in dog foods. If your dog is allergic to more common sources of protein (like chicken) salmon may be a good alternative but ask your veterinarian about managing your dog's food allergy first.
Never feed your dog uncooked or undercooked fish and limit their fish intake to no more than twice a week. When choosing salmon fillets, make sure you choose fresh boneless fillets (they're less likely to harbor small bones) and be sure to double check for tiny bones before cooking the fish.
Incorporating these homemade salmon dog treats into your pup's training time or as a supplemental treat (in moderation) to their diet is something they'll love and benefit from! These healthy, high-value training treats will keep your dog's tail wagging for more. (Just remember that treats should account for less than 10% of your dog's daily caloric intake).
