Doggie Treats

I have a miniature dachshund, and she is really picky about treats. She seems to only like the best...no cheap stuff. haha. She likes anything made by Dingo. They make rawhide bones in different flavors. I get the Mini Dingo's for her. They make them mini and all size in between all the way to a really jumbo bone for really big dogs. I only give her a dingo bone about once a week as a treat. They take her some time to eat but she enjoys them and it keeps her busy for a while. She also likes chicken jerky. This is her favorite treat. She gets a piece of one every morning before I leave for work. Another favorite is Yougurt Drops. I found these at PetSmart after someone else told me that their dog loves them. They come in a yellow resealable bag, don't know the brand name right off the top of my head. The same company also makes chocolate and peanut butter flavored drops. Haven't tried those on her, but she absolutely LOVES the yougurt ones. If I give her 2 or 3 of those with other stuff, she goes straight for the drops first. There are about 60 or more in a bag for about $3 a bag, and I usually give her 2 every morning, so they last a long time.

With all our cats, we only do treats about once a month, and then the roomie will open a bag of treats and "feed the chickens" by scattering them about the room. A few special ones get their treats set aside for them, generally put under their noses because they won't get involved with the rest of the "hordes" on the floor

I do not regularly give the cats treats. However, if they find I have some, they will help themself. If I open a package anywhere in the house my black cat is right there. The old Tiger got her goodies off the shelf and had to share with the others. I had a free package of "Greenies" and they liked them really well.

We have a whippet/black lab mix. The vet said it would be best to keep her at between 40-45 pounds. SO we give her veggies as snacks to help keep her trim. She enjoys baby carrots the best.

My dog loves Pup-Peroni. I have a bag now and I usually give him about a stick a day. He's pretty small so I break it up into little pieces and usually give him some for correctly performing a little trick or command. But it's not the cheapest so I don't have a permanent stock of them. Those seem to be his favourite but he'll eat pretty much any treat I offer him, so I buy him various things from time to time. I think he likes the softer Alpo treats too among others.

Treats can be used for anything. Training, reinforcement, coaxing or just to give some love :) I run an internet store that sells gourmet treats that are all natural and come from small, family run businesses around the country. Obviously, my pups get those the most :) But we do occasionally buy bones and such to keep it spiced up :) If you e-mail me at amie@thedogtreatjar.com I will respond with a coupon for you :) www.thedogtreatjar.com
