*About Nutrition Facts
Nutrition facts are based on the ingredients as listed and
calculated using USDA standard nutritional information. If you
adjust the recipe by adding or subtracting ingredients then this
will affect the actual nutrient totals. Also the nutrient
totals will vary with the total number of treats you actually

Storing Dog Treats
In general you should store dog treats the same way you would homemade
people cookies. That being said, there are two main variables that
determine storage time - the amount and type of fat in the recipe and your
local weather conditions. If your recipe uses fats such as butter, or
meat bits or juices then it will be more prone to rancidity than a recipe
that uses some vegetable oil or shortening. Your treats may mold or
spoil much faster in humid or very hot climates.
Refrigeration and Freezing - Refrigeration will prolong the
life of more fragile dog treats. Make sure to store in a tightly sealed
container or zip lock bag. You can also freeze most treats in zip lock
freezer bags. Allow to thaw completely before use.
