IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY MONTH and we are so excited to celebrate with our pack all month long! One of our favorite ways to celebrate any special occasion is to make homemade goodies to enjoy and share with loved ones. With the help of a few fur-iends, we put together some of the tastiest treat recipes with ingredients you can find at your local Spot!
Plus, we know all the Spot pawrents out there deserve some celebrations, too! The heart of Healthy Spot is the community we have created with those who believe in the same principles we do when it comes to our fur children. As a thank you for another amazing year, and with the help of This Girl Walks Into A Bar, we have included drink recipes you can create for yourself as you and your pup make these tasty treats!Â
