There are some affiliate links below, but they are all products I highly recommend. For more info, view my disclosure here.
For most of my life, I was so not a baker. But when we moved to Puerto Rico, I decided it was a great time to learn! We rescued Roxy & Rico shortly after moving there and finding them on the streets.
What better way to learn than by baking treats for the new dogs, who wouldn’t judge my failures?!
We affectionately call Roxy garbage gut, because she will literally eat anything. Then we have Rico, who is the pickiest street rescue ever.
It’s a bit challenging to find treats that are pleasing to him and healthy enough for Roxy, who has hypothyroidism.
I started searching for the best quick and easy dog treats. Here are some fantastic and healthy simple treats for dogs!

Okay, so while sardines are so not my first choice for a snack, the dogs seem to absolutely love them! Plus, they do have a ton of health benefits. You’ve heard of how great fish oil for dogs can be, right?
