However, what I really like about these treats is that they can be chilled or frozen, making them the perfect midday snack to help keep your pup energized.
Best of all, these treats are loaded with oats, which is a great source of fiber and helps keep digestion regular.
These treats may need to be placed out of reach, as your pet will surely eat them all!
