This pasta dish makes a delicious and patriotic treat for dogs! The red, white and blue theme makes it perfect for all-American holidays. Just remember to keep the goodies to a minimum - treats should never make up more than 5-10% of your dog's diet. Dogs with sensitive stomachs or food allergies might need to avoid this dish.
