really great, I just wouldn't put any onion or garlic in this, very bad for dogs

OK, so garlic CAN be toxic to dogs. However, it has positive benefits such as being a flea repellent. You should check with your vet first. Onions shouldn't be given to dogs. So, I made this with a carrot and no garlic (made a different treat today with garlic)...Charlie (my pup) loved it! It was for his birthday, so he got to lick the spoon and bowl. I think he'll help me in the kitchen more often now :). He gives it 5 stars and I also give it 5 stars for it's ease in making!!! Thanks!!!

just FYI, onions, which you mentioned in your recipe, are toxic to dogs. They contain thiosulphate, which cause the dog's red blood cells to burst. I would recommend trying this recipe with another vegetable, and I intend to try it myself, just not with onions!
