I would be EXTREMELY careful. Dogs are carnivores. They wouldnt NORMALLY eat fruits and veggies. And sugar substitues are a NONO. I would stick to dried meat as a treat. As most dogs would not normally eat sugary foods. Maybe if they grabbed something off your table, but that should be a nono too. Just be careful of the diet. Sugar isnt meant for dogs.

Might be better if you post this in the diet section, to get a broader prospective of responses.
