Then later, I would just do boiled chicken breast, or if you do get that dehydrator, do your own jerky. I would bet it's way cheaper and less fat than buying store bought. That is if you use the dehydrator for more than just for the dog! Keep it simple, it's not that difficult. Most of the time I give fruits/veggies for treats. They love it! Know what they go absolutely bonkers for? Korean pears! And they are in season now! The real ones are even more expensive than meat. They know what's up!
Also I wouldn't give her a bone while no one is watching her. I've seen mine choke on kibble, so I would want to be gone and have one of them choke on something and I wasn't there to help. Seems like they like the "bones" better too so they try to get at it with more gusto, like they could break off a large chunk and choke on it. |
I am leaning toward getting a dehydrator, do you have one? The bones are those very tiny like two bite bones and are gone before I close up the door. I throw it down the other end of the house, watch her eat it and then scoot out the door, I started doing it so she would not be under my feet when I was trying to get out the door, now when she sees me get my coat, she acts like a wide receiver and starts to run in the direction she knows the bone will be thrown, it's become quite fun for her and makes my leaving much more tolerable for both of us
