Recipe yields 60 2" treats. If you use a smaller or larger cookie cutter, or a different cookie cutter than the one I used, your yield will be slightly different.
*Parsley must be CURLY parsley, other varieties can be harmful to your pup.
Use only spearmint or peppermint, as other varieties of mint can be harmful to your dog.
