Notes

Use only unsweetened, additive-free puffed rice cereal.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Customize by adding dried apple pieces, banana, or pumpkin purée.
Always use xylitol-free peanut butter for dogs.
Introduce new treats gradually to monitor for allergies or sensitivities.
