Every day we talk with our members about the benefit of adding more fruits and veggies to our meals and snacks. Well, for the same reasons, those healthy additions can also serve our furry friends! So don’t just slice up those carrots or apples for Fido, try whipping up a batch of these homemade treats and your four-legged friend will thank you!

- 1 C of grated carrots
- 1 egg
