Before you serve

A few important notes

Remove all cantaloupe rind and seeds. Never serve frozen treats on a wooden stick; soften and cut the selected coin before serving.
Use only plain ingredients. Do not add salt, seasoning, commercial broth, gravy, butter, oil, onion, garlic, leek, scallion, or chives.
Serve this only as an occasional extra, not as a complete or balanced meal. Keep all treats and toppers to less than 10% of daily calories.
Introduce new ingredients in a small amount and ask a veterinarian first for dogs with allergies, illness, pancreatitis history, special dietary needs, or a prescribed diet.
