Even though treats are normally given in small quantities, I completely avoid sugar, salt, corn, wheat, and dairy products. Garlic and onions are toxic to dogs so I also completely and entirely avoid them as well. I use very little oil but because I haven't found a fat that is better for the dog that will not get rancid, I use canola and/or olive oil. All ingredients I use are safe for human consumption.
If you are interested in the most healthy treat product possible, I would invest in a high quality pb with the least amount of sodium and sugar. I don't worry about spending extra for high quality ingredients. The treats I make store well and have a long shelf life. |
