Best treats for yorkies?

[BoBoDiddle]

On the topic of treats, BoBo loves "Chicken Buddies". They're little dried chicken discs. Are those healthy? They're like 95% chicken.

I give Rocco Wellness Bites too! He loves them. I like them cause they're soft and you can cut 1 piece into even smaller pieces and they last longer. I like them for training.

Bully sticks because they give him something to do for hours and keep his teeth clean, and freeze dried 100% beef liver by Protreats because it's good for him and he'll do anything for 1 small piece.

Xavier and Sasha both LOVE their bully sticks! Also, Sam's Yams Bichon Fries Sweet Potato Chews, raw marrow bones (- the marrow) and various jerkies are favorites of my two.

i first bought them at petsmart.. they loved them,, then petsmart stopped carrying them and i could not find them anywhere.. so i found them online and got some in bulk.. like 10 bags and saved money..

I found something that my girls seem to enjoy, just yesterday. And believe it or not, I found it at the Dollar General Store.

They are from Honey Creek Farms and they're called, Jerky Wraps, Sweet Potato with Chicken.

The ingredients are: Sweet Potatoes, Chicken (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary and citric acid.)

They sound healthy...I hope they are.

My babies love Bil Jacs Little Jacs. They are made from liver and small enough it doesn't provide a whole meal for them.
They also love bully sticks.

I looked everywhere locally for Bully Sticks - never found them. You can do a google, I found some great prices on E-bay. Merrick is the manufactures name.

I buy the Natural Balance Lamb and Rice Dog Food rolls from Petco and every evening I cut some up into bite size pieces for treats. My dogs love it. Also I give the a few cheerios for a snack, they are crazy about Honey-nut cheerios. For chewing I always give them cow ears (I cut them in half with tin snips) and cow hooves. A while back I read on YT that a lot of yorkies were getting sick from the bully sticks because they seem to harbor bacteria, I am not sure if it was just some bad batches or if people should just use caution with them. I also occasionally give bites of raw carrot, steamed broccoli or green beans or boiled sweet potato.

Do you know that Lulu hates treats? She would much rather chew on a bone or a toy than eat treats. Sorry, can't be much help on this one.

I would really like to find something that they will enjoy but actually lasts for a while so they can lay there and chew for a period of time rather than always running around getting in places they shouldnt be lol

If this is the same thread I read, the doctor wasn't sure what caused the illness (you have to read the link to another thread to get this information though), he thought it could have been anything, even the toys that multiple dogs used. If multiple dogs are using something, it's good to clean and dry it. I would recommend not buying any dog product made in China. I have never read about trouble with the Merrick brand.

Mine got sick and Bullies were in the equation....the bacteria actually comes from the dogs mouth but gets much worse and grows after chewing a bully and letting it sit and then going back at it. My Bella was VERY sick from this so no i cannot say the bully caused it but it did have an effect on it. I personally do not give bullies anymore but I cannot sit here and blame them 100% either. I just choose to take no chances after going thru what i did....2 days in hospital and 1,000+ in vet bills....I just stopped using them period. And both of my dogs were affected by this Bella was just hit the hardest.

But didn't you say that the vet didn't know what caused this, and that he said it could have been anything even the toys? If you choose not to use Bully Sticks, I don't blame you, but since the sticks were not tested, and there was no correlation shown, it may have been a coincidence. I just know so many people have used this treat with absolutely no problem.
