littlefurfamily Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 ....let's just say you do allow them for your pet. We have a one year old, dachshund mix at a very good weight and very active. He eats 3/4 cup Iams Simple Natural each day. But he does enjoy a little "somethin' somethin' " throughout the day. I'm just curious what some safe "store-bought" treats (he likes chewy over crunchy) or if you might make some yourself? With all the crazy China-scares, etc. I worry about what we feed him. ( He doesn't like carrots...he does like lettuce and sweet potatoes though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 On our last US trip we found Milo's Kitchen dog treats. They're home style, most of them are made in the US (one of the varieties was not; I think the chicken), pretty good quality. There are sausage varieties, beef jerky varieties, and meatballs, besides the chicken. We bought ours at Wal-Mart but I imagine they are widely available. Aside from that, our pooch likes fruit, but be careful with that. Ours loves grapes though I'm told they can be toxic. She also loves bananas, apples, watermelon, etc. but we had a friend's dog react to a slice of pear so just be cautious the first time you give a new fruit or veggie, just in case.

Samiam Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Why not make your own? There's lots of recipes online. Most include whole wheat flour, peanut butter, cheddar cheese, sweet potatoe, apple, etc. The varieties are endless, and safe!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I spread peanut butter on one of my dogs bone. She loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You can just use her regular food as a treat. Put some in a rockable kong and make her work for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
