| What else can I give Bella? Bella gets treats/cookies everytime she goes out to potty. At night I have been giving her one greenie. She has good dental check-ups. But after what I have read on here about the greenies, I am wondering what else I can give her in the place of it? |

| I am sure these are not the healthiest of treats, but I give our two DentaStix and Jack, who will be four in May, may have his first dental this year. (Not sure yet - he goes in next month for his yearly visit). My vet has been thrilled with how good his teeth have been maintained. I also let them chew on bully sticks, which they love. And as of yesterday, I just started "brushing" their teeth. Hoping to prevent a dental for Jack at this point - the less they have to go under anesthesia, the better! Good luck.

| Our potty treats sound boring -- a single kibble -- but it makes my guys happy. They dash to the kitchen and get excited when I pop the top on the kibble container. I present the kibble like it is gold.

| I've not tried bullysticks. She would get this treat on the way to bed with me since it would be the last treat of the day. |

| I give Chewie, Nutrisentials Lean Treats For Dogs, they are soft and full of flavor. He gets half of piece every time he goes on the pad. |

| I just make Tibbe's treats out of his kibble and he will fight to get them! He's wild for them. I soak his kibble until soft, microwave it in the oven until it is hard, cool and dry it out and put it in his treat container. He is avid for it! He is so excited to get it and works for it almost as if it were boiled chicken or hot dogs or something. He loves the stuff. It is very crunchy and I know it will clump together into large sections if you want. I am sure it will make into bone-sized pieces if you want to shape it while it is still in the cooking process. But boy will he come running from outside as he knows he almost always gets one or two pieces for "Tibbe, come".
