K-9-Ingredient Meatballs
April 2009
What pup's going to turn down this beefy treat?My friend came up with these little meatball treats for Tony, his new puppy. They have protein, brown rice, a lot of nutritious vegetables and turmeric to aid digestion. Make sure they're completely cooled before serving them to your pup!-RachAlways check with your vet about which foods are appropriate for you to share with your pet.
