Who here does not like the goodness of fresh homemade sweets?
No one? Thought so!
The scent of hot ghee waiting to cook delicious, round laddoos is a scent almost everybody has experienced at least once in their lives. It's not just the fresh ingredients, but the love that goes into making these sweets that makes it all the more special.
So why not share this homemade love with our furry best friends? They deserve fresh, homemade sweets too, but not the ones meant for human consumption.
Regular sweets contain ingredients that could prove to be toxic for our furry friends. But that does not mean they need to miss out on all the deliciousness! Instead, you could make them their own batch of homemade pet-friendly sweets, and have them join the fun.
We asked our fellow pet parents to share their favourite pet-friendly recipes. The recipes listed below are all tested and approved by the most distinguished chefs - our pets! So quit waiting and start baking for your furry friends.
