Be Careful What You Cook With

Remember, don’t use toxic ingredients, including xylitol, onions, garlic, chocolate and raisins.  If you’re planning to make homemade peanut butter dog treats, read the label carefully. There are several peanut butters on the market that contain xylitol, which is DEADLY to pets.
