I appreciate this treat maker because it helps create "cute", but more importantly healthy, treats for my dog given I can control what products he's being served. He has an allergy to honey and molasses and it's amazing how many dog treats contain those two products! I will say, we've only used this treat maker twice and it is a little tough to get used to... mainly because I am afraid of burning myself. The treats I've made so far are pretty sticky and are hard to get off the spoon and spread around properly into the bone shapes. Trying to fully closes the lid so that it snaps closed and then open it has been a bit of a challenge too. Regardless, he has had no problem gobbling them up. Thanks for providing a quick alternative treat maker option.
