These Homemade Gingerbread dog treats are perfect for the Holidays. Why are these perfect for the Holidays? Gingerbread cookies made with real ginger and only dog friendly ingredients will help calm your dog's stomach for the long car ride to grandma's house. Of course if these are to help calm upset or potentially upset tummies leave off the carob topping. Fun to make and smell great while cooking in the oven. As a reminder these are treats and as such should only make up about 10% or less of your dog's diet.
