    So would Milk Bones and similar treats be a no-no???

    Ellie, the bichon is prone to allergies to grains. I can't use milk bones, or the like. I use dehydrated chicken breasts, the ones from Kona's Chips, but there are others. I am trying to stay away from "Made in China," so that leaves out many brands.

    Here is Kona's link:
    http://www.konaschips.com/

    CVS carries a USA made brand, Waggin' Tails. And I have used Vitalife and Cadet, even though they are made in China.

    Also, carrots and pieces of apple and sweet potato make good treats.

    Buddy Biscuits are great for small dogs. Here is a link:
    http://www.cloudstar.com/

    PetCo carries them (HUGE mark up!) and my dogs love them.

    Zuke's is another good brand of treats. Not all Zuke's are grain free, you need to read the label to find the ones you can get.


    Wagatha's and SoJo are more names of good treats.


    Monica, the trick is to find the food distributor near you and buy from them. I am getting the 5 lb. bag of Veg to Bowl for $25, NOT the $56.95 plus shipping on the Dr. Harvey's web site!

    Fritz, bichon shouldn't be on grocery store food it is poor quality. They also shouldn't have ANY human food, only their own.

    Sandie - where do you get Veg to Bowl so cheap???

    As far as treats - Sparky wouldn't be a problem - and he loves fruits and veggies too. However, finicky Ms Myn would likely have an issue with a change.
