| Small dogs get hit the hardest by harmful ingredients. A larger dog may be able to tolerate junk food a bit better than a small dog but it is still junk food. I wouldn't try to raise my kids on box cereal and other prepackaged foods and I won't feed my dogs the junk food for animals the industry puts out. Our dogs are dying of the same food induced diseases that people are: diabetes, obesity, heart disease and cancer to name a few. Please watch out for yogurts that have sugar in them. Even some Greek Yogurts have high amounts of sugar and fat. There are some good ones that are not flavored and that are non fat. Any pet food or treat that has flavorings or some form of sugar usually has a lot of poor quality ingredients that a dog would not eat unless enticed by the sweetener or flavorings. Our dogs have enough problems with teeth going bad without feeding them sugars or other forms of glucose. |

| Years ago before I knew better, and before I joined YT, we fed them to our little yorkie, Baby. She loved them like an addiction ! We stopped when we noticed her teeth were turning brown and rotting. We eventually had to have several of Baby's teeth pulled because they stuck to her teeth. Sophie has never tasted them and she never will. We give Sophie only crunchy treats or carrot bits that don't stick to her teeth and she has great dental checkups . I would never recommend them.
