Recipe Notes
To store crunchy treats, keep stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. These treats will last 2-4 weeks. Refrigerate for longer shelf-life.
To store soft treats, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. These can also be frozen for up to 6 months. If your pooch doesn’t have teeth issues, there’s no reason you can’t give her a frozen treat.
