Kevin Kling, author of The Dog Says How

“Wow! What an array of unique, fun biscuit recipes! Dogs everywhere will be dancing on the couches with gratitude. Owners will be smiling as they prepare these tasty and healthy treats for their beloved four legged fury friends. Four paws up to Klecko for sharing his stories and being so creative with dog biscuits!”

“Klecko’s dog biscuits are great! I have two German shepherds with discriminating tastes who will not eat off-the-shelf dog biscuits; however, my dogs cannot get enough of the fresh-baked goodness of Klecko’s treats.”
Officer Pat McMahon, Minneapolis K-9 Unit

“I am always looking for ways to show my dog love, and treats often say it best. While most treats provide little nutrition, Klecko’s recipes give dog owners the opportunity to show their love and keep their pets healthy. And my dog gobbles up these biscuits—as does his owner, on occasion. They’re that good.”
