Skip the Fireworks, Keep the Treats: 8 Fourth of July Recipes Your Dog Will Love

Both my dog and I don’t love certain aspects of the Fourth of July. While we could very much do without fireworks, we do love the tasty treats that come with the holiday.

So, I’ll be making her her very own dog-safe Fourth of July treats!

And if you want to do the same, here are 8 awesome recipes that your furry friend is sure to love on July 4.
