A Few Fun Ideas to Make These Treats Extra Special
Want to switch things up a bit or make these fries even more exciting? Here are a few fun ideas to add to your treat-making adventure:
- Go Small for Training Treats: If your dog is in training mode, try cutting the sweet potatoes into smaller, bite-sized cubes instead of fries. They’ll still get that crispy texture, but in mini form, perfect for rewarding good behavior during training sessions.
- Pair with a Yogurt Dip: Here’s a fun twist: serve the fries with a dollop of plain, dog-friendly yogurt on the side! Your dog can “dip” their fries, and it’ll add a creamy contrast to the crispy texture of the sweet potato. Total doggie bliss.
- Make It a Meal Add-On: If you’re feeling really generous, add these sweet potato fries to your dog’s dinner bowl as a crunchy side. It’s a fun way to mix up their usual meals and give them something to look forward to.
