Wintery berry bones are one of my favorite cold-weather treats to make when my dog comes in from a frosty walk with a pink nose and happy eyes.
On chilly evenings, we love slowing down together. I pop one of these frozen bones from the freezer, and suddenly it’s treat time with lots of tail wags.
They are simple, fresh, and made with ingredients you can trust
