Goldfish as treats?

[browniesmom622]

[QUOTE=Ellie May;1887884]I usually don't give Ellie "junk food" but I don't think it will hurt her occasionally (kind of like vanilla ice cream) and I'm comfortable with it. I guess we are all comfortable with different things.

As a rule though, she doesn't get salty snacks because too much salt is horrible for them. [QUOTE]

If your comfortable with it that's fine it's your dog But ...........

Iodized salt and salty foods can lead to stomach ailments and pancreatitis. Dogs, especially large breeds, who gulp too much water after eating salty food may develop a life-threatening condition called bloat during which the stomach fills with gas and twists, leading to painful death unless emergency medical help is received immediately.

Ian loves these, but he only gets a couple of them once or twice a week.

I give my Yorkies "human food" treats....fit for human consumption! I give as treats Cheerios, small pieces of vanilla wafers, Teddy Grahams, and Gold Fish. They have "no" sugar, "low sugar", whole wheat, salt free, etc in almost all of these snacks....and I only give two or three pieces as a treat....been doing it for years, have never lost a dog because of it yet....They especially like the Gold Fish...and those come baked, whole grain, unbleached flour, no artificial preservatives, zero grams trans fats, reduced sodium....and like I said, they only get two or three for a treat. They have Baby Goldfish....I do not know if those are for toddlers or if they are just smaller than the regular size ones....only "doggie treats" I give my furbabies are ones that are hand made at the local doggie boutique, by a good friend that had lost her Yorkie to kidney disease from doggie treats she bought at PetCo. My babies do not get that many "treats"....they think anything I hand feed them, is a treat....including a piece of their regular kibble!

What about animal crackers? I never give them many but I think Petco even has them on their treat table. I bought them some for Christmas but only give them a couple at a time.
