(she is 8 months old right now)
as for cheerios, is that a good treat for them? because it's sugary and i worry it will give her cavities. |
As far as treats go, it's not that bad, I don't use the honey nut ones, which have more added sugar. Cavities aren't generally a problem with dogs, it's tartar and gingivitis that's the problem, and they lose teeth because of gum disease. I do think sugar is bad for other reasons. Like I said before Joey was extremely picky, and just cutting his food back a little helped with this.
