I won't even eat marshmallows! There are too many things on the ingredient list that I can't identify and that sound like chemicals. Marshmallows are a highly processed food that humans and dogs shouldn't eat.

Now, do I make myself some S'mores a couple times a year? Of course! But I wouldn't let myself eat something that processed on any routine basis. But I'm a health nut, and that's just me.

But a dog really shouldn't eat marshmallows, like, ever. Marshmallows have weird properties. You don't want the marshmallows to expand or not break apart within your dog's tiny gut.

Choose treats that have a short list of ingredients that you are familiar with. NEVER choose treats that are made China. I stick with treats that are made in the USA, Canada or Europe. I use freeze dried beef liver treats made in Canada. There's only one ingredient--freeze dried beef liver. Every dog I've tried them on loves them.
