I feed a variety of treats: baby carrots, cheerios, dehydrated bananas, apples and sweet potatoes, boiled/scrambled eggs, boiled chicken, peanut butter.

They know about small breeds. There were 5 Yorkies in there on Saturday. I've had a couple more Vets but they never did squat~! When I took him then and even now, they always do something for him as well as call more than once to check on him and how's he doing~? They are available 24/7 to answer my questions.s Anyways, I only was asking about marshmallows and maybe I could get him to eat them. He's not picky on the treats, but apparently is now.

Are you a Vet~?

No, nor do I play one on TV.

buddy biscuits you can get them in hard or soft treats

I just wanted to throw that out there. I've had some horrible Vets. Marshmallows are nothing but sugar. I've never heard them to be toxic. Some my guess is the Vet may say to give him these to soothe his stomach and maybe so he won't get Hypoglycemic from not eating enough?? Did the Vet give you a reason??? But IME blood in the stool maybe another problem?? Or some sort of Food allergy? Dunno never had a dog do this. But if the Vet's advise seems to help I would listen.

I feed fresh fruits and veggies for treats. I can't imagine that marshmellow be good for dogs, especially to combat bloody stools...JMO, that makes no sense to me.

marshmellows...seems strange...mine 13 week old baby loves chopped carrots!:)

My vet told me that our fur babies get all the nutrition that they need from a high premium dog food, any treats should be healthy such as Vegetables and fruits. I feed mine raw baby carrots for a treat, apples, watermelon.

Finally after over 24 hours last night, I got him to eat marshmallow. Now I am having issues for him to take a Priolsec.

I make my own treats for mine generally. I will give them FROMM treats though.

I wouldn't force him to eat a marshmellow if he doesn't like it. He probably knows it's bad for him! lol.

Herschel is on Acana Wild Prairie. His stool is fine. He is not fond of it to be honest. But he dislikes all dry food. I am considering a Prey Model diet for him after reading several posts on here about the success and health of the yorkies being fed that way.

I know this has already been suggested but I would really seek out a second opinion from another vet.

And it is important to take vets' advice with a grain of salt when it comes to food recommendations. Many vets are not as knowledgeable in animal nutrition as you would expect and many will just push a prescription food on you. I'm surprised that a vet would "not believe in grain-free foods," especially since dogs do not require them. There are many excellent grain-inclusive foods but grains aren't necessary if your dog tolerates that kind of diet. I am even more surprised that a vet would recommend feeding your pup refined sugar. Even for myself, I know I shouldn't be eating refined sugar and I absolutely would not give it to my dog. Just be careful and do research to double check things.

As for treats that I give my pup, I like to give Toki little pieces of fruits/vegetables like green beans, sweet potatoes, zucchini, blueberries, etc! This is a great season for good produce! If I give her a store-bought treat, I like the Stella & Chewys carnivore kisses which are just freeze-dried meats. I try to do just grain-free treats but occasionally I'll give her some of the Blue Stix (the beef and potato are a favorite!).

morgan gets old mother hubbard's biscuits and yorkie yummies// i dont give him very many treats just a biscuit at bed time
