What are Your Favorite Treats

[Kris & Brinkley]

I was looking through the forums & I saw a few recipes but other than zukes which I can't seem to find no one else mentioned favorite healthy economic dog treats.

My 2 guys are going through tins of treats so I wondered about is making my own really cheaper esp milk bone ones & what about those treats that come in Bins at PetSmart/sense? 

 

What are your Fav Dog Training Treat & Bigger Treats?

 

PS I am so thrilled to have found this site, being able to find tried & true product info & wisdom for dogs has been wonderful.

no peel, just a slice, whatever size you like.  if i give Monty thin slices, he can have more! I did research, sweet potatoes are fine for dogs.

[Kris & Brinkley]

I had thought about that bc mine love carrots. My Lab loves fresh from the garden sweet peppers too, wonder if my doodle will....?

[Sharon & Monty]

Monty loves carrots, loves oranges, apples, bananas etc.  i say keep trying to give them raw veg, cant go wrong!

I have been looking into getting a food dehydrator, slicing the sweet potatoe and dehydrating the slices. Papuya too. BTW, I have heard of their being a toxic mold on the skin of sweet potatoes. So I guess its good to take the skins off.

[Sharon & Monty]

toxic mold? gosh, well i dont know about that one.  will def check it out.  I usually give Monty about 3 slices.

[Sharon & Monty]

dont you think by putting something in a dehydrator or oven it will kill any stuff?

[Kris & Brinkley]

I would think so too... I'm in the camp of being careful Not to sterilize our lives too much but there are things to be careful of for sure.

I make a big batch of liver treats for under $5.00 and my two would fly through the air for one!  The recipe is in the food groups cookbook, there are several and they are all good. Otherwise, I use charlie bears, I've  used cheerio's, lots of carrots, cranraisens, turkey hotdogs are really cheap on sale. Cheese, apples, leftover cooked veggies unless they get that in a meal, I can go on and on....let's see, left over pancakes, waffles, bacon ofcourse, stale bread. My two eat anything so I don't need to buy a lot of treats. So for economy I use what's on hand.
