Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating the ones we love — and that absolutely includes our dogs. They’re our loyal companions, our snuggle buddies, our emotional support comedians, and the ones who love us long before the chocolates and roses show up.

So why not make them something special too

This year, skip the human sweets (especially chocolate!) and treat your pup to a safe, homemade Valentine’s Day snack made just for them.

Here’s a simple recipe that’s festive, healthy, and guaranteed to make tails wag.
