I usually microwave a sweet potato until cooked and when it is cooled, I cut it in to small little cubes. I store them in the fridge in a tupperware for no more than 3-4 days and use these as small snacks. Sweet potatoes are easy to digest and low in fat and our dogs love them. You can also give butternut squash cubes. I buy frozen organic cubed butternut squash and let them thaw in the fridge and they love that. Oatmeal is a favorite in our house but it is messy as is mashed potatoes and such.

Frozen blueberries or cut green beans are other low calorie option and I let them thaw before feeding.

I never feed cream cheese, peanut butter, store bought chicken broth or anything processed. For chicken broth, if you have a whole foods nearby, there is a chicken stock that is very low fat and free of sodium that can be used to flavor but really it is not necessary unless you have a picky one.
