I use lots of treats in my household.  Because I have four dogs that are all involved in dog sports and I am a firm believer in the old adage you get better results with treats than hard corrections, OK maybe that is my adage……..I am always on the lookout for good, healthy snacks.

If we have chicken for dinner, I will squirrel a piece away, cut it into tiny bites, stick it into a baggie and freeze it.  A bit of leftover roast?  Kids didn’t finish all their dinner? , put it away for the canine member of your family. When block cheese goes on sale, I will pick up a number of blocks and keep it available for training sessions.   My dogs love carrots, broccoli, apples, bananas.  Pretty inexpensive and healthy.

One thing I NEVER give my dogs is anything red, you know the treats that they sell for a pretty big price that are red.  Look at the ingredients and do a bit of research on what some of those things are.

I know this may seem like a lot of work and effort, but just like feeding your human family well, you will find a great deal of satisfaction from helping you canine member stay in optimum health.
