Storing - Our free dog treat recipes do not contain preservatives, so they will need to be refrigerated. These dog candy canes will keep fresh for two or more weeks in the refrigerator. They also freeze beautifully. Keep them in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Yield - If you roll out 5 inch strips of dough, and twist them together, you should yield at least 20 sugar free dog treats.


Merry Christmas Love Gia! ♥
