| frosted flakes as a treat after i got my puppy, i was told to give him frosted flakes as a treat. he loves it and goes crazy for it, but i noticed that his tummy growls from the treat. what does that mean? any suggestions on other good and safe treats?

| I wouldn't give mine "Frosted Flakes" they are coated with sugar & will ruin their teeth. Yorkies have lots of problems with the teeth sometimes. Maybe you should try treats made especially for dogs. Mine really like the "Old Mother Hubbard" kind & they are made from natural ingredients like peanut butter. |

| Frosted flakes is not an appropriate treat for any dog. You can give your pup raw vegetables as treats, or purchase "dog treats" from a store. many stores have organic baked treats as well. |

| My Soph likes Cheerios and since they aren't sweetened and are made from whole grain oats, they are healthy. Maybe switch your baby to cheerios instead of a sugary cereal like frosted flakes. |

| I would tend to think that the sugar would not be good for your puppy. Maybe something that is more whole grain and no sugar would be better. welcome to YT!

| frosted flakes as a treat wow, thanks for all the suggestions! i'll definitely look for something that's whole grain. i'll also try the raw veggies (if my puppy eats it, hehe) thanks!

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | This is what I read on Yorkie Talk before I got my own Yorkie. That if you give them Cherrios as a reward then they won't require having their anal glands emptied as it provides natual fiber. So far, so good. No scooting across the carpet on her bum. |
