Sweet Potato & Bacon Dog Biscuits

Submitted by Raelene

"An easy to make dog treat that is free of dairy and nuts. These have a mild taste of bacon and you can add more or eliminate it all together if your pet has sensitivity. I use pre made bacon bits and just pulse them to get a finer consistency for baking into the cookie"
