Treats: A small piece of beef or chicken in a Kong with the Kong liver treat to make him work a little harder to get the meat. Estimate 3 to 4 fills per day. This is to keep him busy & satisfy his chewing needs, i.e., not a reward. Bully sticks, raw hide, & bones make him excessively thirsty so I try to minimize. I'll try the green bean substitution in the Kong. For rewards, I give him the small pieces of Wellness kibble. I take these from his meal ration.

After I posted this question I found that Wellness makes a Healthy Weight mix. So, I'll give this a try too.

It's funny that I'm also trying to put some weight on Squirt. No, Gus is not eating Squirts food. Well, he get's some once in a rare while.
