Hi welcome to Yorkietalk, when I was growing up there use to be chocolate flavored dog treats, and we gave them to our dogs without any problems, but since then, they have found that chocolate contains an ingredient called theobromine that effects the center nervous system, and can be very harmful, especially if dark chocolate is used, so most of the chocolate looking treats now contain carob, which has no chocolate. Haven't heard about Weetabix Minis, so I can't say whether they are good or not. I'm not a big believer in treats, and usually just give Joey hard chewy sticks as treats. He also loves frozen green beans, and acts like those are a great treat. The bad thing about Yorkies, and other small breeds is that they are prone to pancreatitis, and any foods that are high in fat can bring this on, that's why pork is considered a no no by some. |
