Looking for a little help getting your pooch to calm down at the end of the day? Does your fur-baby need a little coaxing to relax at bedtime? Sounds like Fido needs one of my Chamomile Lavender Bedtime Dog Biscuits!
Each night, when Ray and I are ready to go into bed, our boys know that they have to go “Night-Night Pee-Pee.” As we are getting up from the living room and shutting off the lights, we’ll say to them “Come’on let’s go night-night pee-pee” and they immediately know to go to the back to to be let outside and they aren’t allow back in until they pee.
When they come back in the house they also know to sit right by the door, waiting for their treat. (we train our boys using positive reinforcement) Instead of giving them their normal reward of a Homemade Dog Treat, they get a Chamomile Lavender Bedtime Dog Biscuit to help them relax for bed.
Both the chamomile and lavender help to calm and relax your dog. Not only are these perfect before bed time but also great to give before you leave them home alone, since they can help alleviate anxiety. Additionally, these Lavender Chamomile Bedtime Dog Biscuits {Grain-Free} can help to make car rides less stressful.
Basically any time your dog needs to chill, these can help!
And don’t worry, your fur baby will love the taste! Heck, even I loved the taste, I admit to eating 2 of these right out of the oven because they smelled so good 😛
Ingredients

Notes
How many treats should I give my 80 pound dog ?
That depends on the size that you make the treats.
What shelf life do these baked biscuits have?
like all baked goods, a few days at room temp. about a week in the fridge and a few months in the freezer.
