In addition to their regular twice-daily meals, we use treats for both training, snacks and simple rewards (you know... just for being good!)
At most, treats should only cover about a
tenth of your dog's total diet.
We've tried many treats, and over time have narrowed it down to only the most healthful, tasty, readily available treats that have never had any adverse reactions (tummy upset/allergies). While it is best to treat dogs with something as close to a single ingredient as possible, this is a list of things we have found to be healthful and helpful:
- Waggers Champion Chips - 100% USDA Inspected Beef Lung
- Baked Sweet Potato Chips (made at home)
- Boiled, shredded chicken (made at home)
- Turkey Hot Dogs (for recall training, grocery store bought)
- Apple (flesh only), blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cantaloupe
- Carrots, green beans, zucchini, peas
