Notes

When using almond butter in dog treats always check to make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that a few brands use and it can be fatal to dogs. Check out this list for more information on which brands use xylitol in their products.
 
Ceylon and Cassia cinnamons are the most popular of the four kinds of cinnamon. Ceylon is more expensive and is known as true cinnamon, because it is sweeter and lighter in color. On the contrary, cassia is cheaper, darker and regularly found in supermarkets. Whichever one you choose, opt for the organic even though it’s a little more expensive. The flavor is so worth it!
