Just wondering what kind of treats everyone feeds thier Canine Friends. I usually buy pig ears, cow hooves, or give them a beef soup bone. Once in a while I will buy some holistic treats but the collies are so picky. I'm sure they would love some of those marketed treats with BHA and BHT but I refuse to buy those tastey little morsals.

Teddy likes Snausages and milkbones. He likes bones as long as they aren't raw bones for some reason. he will chew rawhides and nylabones and such but no raw bones. He used to like pigs ears but doesn't so much anymore.
I give Star and Wilbur raw chicken as treats usually, I chop it up into cubes and freeze it. Raw pork is their FAVORITE treat, but it gives them the runs even in moderation, so teeny bits of it are reserved when I'm making pork for dinner.
I make homemade frosty paws with yogurt, peanut butter, and banana, and I give them bully sticks or raw bones.
LOL. I love that picture. It's so funny!
Fenway gets some Solid Gold Beef Jerky. Sometimes he gets cheese or cottage cheese too.
They get a little bit of everything...my dogs aren't too picky. They all love peanut butter and cheese, and I've purchased nearly every kind of commercial treat on the market at one time. I really like Zuke's brand treats for cats and dogs, though.
I give them a variety of treats. They especially like those crunchie things like pork rinds, Yummie Chummies, and t-bonz. But every night they get peanut butter spread on a milk-bone. That's how they know it's bedtime!
I have several grand doggies, and different treats for each one of them. Hexay and Kasha are older, so , they get Milk Bone Senior, thin rawhide chews, pieces of canned salmon , etc.
Lillie is a teenager now, and she begs for the little bones that I bought at Soldan's Pet Store. I have a seperate box of Goodies for her.
Miura, a Chihuahua, loves Greenies , and the tiny little flavored bones from the Pet Store.. She will eat just about anything, from tomatoes to green pepper. She also knows there is food in the refrigerater :eek:
Rascal and Ellie both absolutely LOVE Beggin' Strips and Beggin' Wraps. They also like Scooby Milkbone Treats, and Milkbones. :)
My girls love chicken strips, beggin strips, lammy wammys, and liva-snaps. I forgot frosty paws. :)
Well, Cody (my old boy) is on a restricted diet so he only gets duck. I just found some duck breast jerkey from Dogswell Happy Hips. He loves it!
I feed Bailey all kinds of treats, but I stay away from heavy preservatives. He gets Buddy Biscuits and Paul Newman treats. He really loves a bite of banana every morning and then he shares a salad with me every afternoon. While I'm making my salad, he gets a couple pieces of broccoli, carrots, pea pods, and he will even eat a tomato. I think he's pretty healthy!
My boys get a huge variety of treats! We have to try all the treats with human quality ingredients at least once. Kai's favorite (commercial) treats are freeze dried liver and Marrobone (Kaedyn doesn't have a favorite :p). I bought a 20 dollar tub of the liver which has lasted us forever! The Marrobone, I hate to admit, isn't even close to the quality of their other treats.. but Kai loves them so much that he still gets the odd one here and there (2 a month.. max!) I mainly use it for when he shows outstanding recall, or when we're desensitizing outside. They also get rollover for agility and obedience training. I'm about to switch over to Natural Balance after we finish this last bit.. as NB is much better, ingredient-wise.
They get cut up bits of cheese for agility training, as well as recall and newer commands. Cheese is the only reward Kai will really work his butt off for in agility.
I give the pack bacon strips. But they rarely get them. I break them into small bites and give that way for bedtime, or being particularly good ;) I use cooked hamburger for training. I can break that down into small pieces without worrying about overfeeding or upsetting their tummies too much.
For training, they get a mixture of cheese, Redbarn/Natural Balance soft rolls, or hotdog, minced up in cubes. They l o v e all of these, but I keep the cheese & hotdog in moderation because it's pretty fattening.
At home, they get dehydrated chicken breast, OMH mint or peanut butter biscuits, Charlee bear treats, home-made liver or peanut butter treats, home-made fruit & yogurt frosty paws, etc! Fozzie gets a Kong stuffed & frozen with muscle meats & pureed veggies & egg & other good stuff almost every day.
=D for chewing, they of course get a big variety of RMB's every day - today they each got pork ribs, and for dinner they each split a turkey breast w/ bone, which provides lots of chewing. I wouldn't consider what they eat everyday a "treat". Around the house through out the day Fozzie has access to a few bully stix, a bunch of dried cow tails, and occasionally lamb & pig ears.
I wonder why so many people have problems with feeding pork? Crazy. My 2 have zero side affects, even from eating lots of pork in one day. I rarely feed a bunch of pork muscle meat... maybe that's it? I usually feed pork ribs, femur, or shoulder with bone-in, and sometimes feet.
I have freeze dried liver treats right now..my aunt makes her own dog treats (peanut butter, beef and chicken flavor) for her dogs, and of course Gunther and Sammy dont mind sharing with my 2, so i always have a big baggie of those around
