We took time choosing the best for them like our own children. Taking them to the vet to check and maintain their being. Comfort them by making them feel secured in our homes. Feed them healthy and nutritious food to make them lean and fit so that they could move free and active as they are. And most importantly loving them for they certainly have been loyal and affectionate to us. As part of the process of our interaction with them and aside from feeding them their regular meals, we give our dogs rewards and treats for their loyalty and specifically making and bringing joy to us. Dog treats can either come in the form of a toy or a food treat meant for them. There are basically a lot of dog toys they enjoy and one can grab one from anywhere. From a stick in the yard to a 'Kong' doll from a pet store. But a great healthy alternative to treat your dogs are the so-called 'dog treats.' Unfortunately, only a handful of those commercial dog treats are worthy on their nutritional value needed by your dogs.

Do you give dog treats?

I do not currently have a dog, but keep a box of good treats around, and a few in a ziplock in the car, in case I run into a cute dog, or one in need of help that a treat might help facilitate. The family dogs have always gotten some treats, but depending on the dog, a chink of carrot or a watermelon rind was way more exciting than some scrap of brown stuff from a box!

And don't get me started on Freckles (the Saint Bernard) and a corn cob!
