I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | When Joey was a puppy, I used Cheerios because they are so tiny and don't spoil the appetite for more nutritious food. Now that he's older green beans are a favorite. I like to use vegetables and fruits over store bought treats, as I'm not too comfortable with some of the ingredients. I also use Merrick Bully Sticks for chewing, they are not really a treat per se, but more of a teeth cleaning and chewing device because it takes so long to consume one.

YorkieTalk Newbie! | Great treats for Teeth and Skin T/CP Canine Chews (Petite-under 11 lbs) They are great for their teeth and Breath. I get mine at Banfield Pet Hospital at Pet Smart from the Vet. They are made by Glen Haven. They are like rawhide BUT they are not rawhide. Do not use rawhide, it is not good for them. Also, mine likes Grissly NuTreats.(All Natural) They are Great for their skin with Smoked Salmon oil, kelp, alfalfa, amino acids. Very good for them!! I get them at Grizzlypetproducts.com I also give mine, a small drop a day of the wild salmon oil or his skin, and his skin in no longer dry!! |

| Yes, it does! The absolute favorite in my house are Yorkie Yummies! Cindy (Chattiesmom) sells these and they are wonderful (check the for sale thread). Second would have to be baby carrots.

| Cheerios Cheerios are Molly's favorites, so I save those for when I really want her to mind. She also likes baby carrots, apples and loves the little California Cutie mandarin oranges...small bits only. Oranges are safe, aren't they? This might be a good time for the "avoid these foods" list... |

| Its Cheerios for Bailey - as well as with small pieces of dehydrated beef/turkey/venison. I hear so many good things about Yorkie Yummies - I'm gonna have to get some and try 'em out!!

| The only treats I give my little man are the tiny Milkbones and these little peanut butter cookies for dogs that I got at Walmart. He absolutely LOVES clementines....they're like seedless tangerines. I like them a lot myself and whenever I eat one I give him little pieces. |

| Mine like baby carrots and the occasional apple. I bought Natural Balance small treats that they seem to like well enough but I am going to try the Wellness treats next after this bag runs out.
