| How many dog cookies do you give your kids a day? My lil boy has been wanting one every time he goes out side to go to the bath room. I started giving him carrots instead ?????

| I give mine cheerios. They absolutely love them. Sasha knows when she pees on the pad she gets one. She will go to the pad and pee one drop and then stand in front of me barking for a cheerio and then go right back and pee another drop! They probably get 20+ a day from me each.

| I dont give many every day. I try to remember to give a Nylabone for clean teeth. Every now and again i give freeze dried liver treats. Shield doesnt like many dog treats. So today he had a few nuggets from Chick fil A. That isnt typical though. Carrots are a great treat. My older vet had us give carrots to my collie, she enjoyed them. I believe they help teeth also.

| Mine loves carrots!! And English cucumbers and frozen green beans and peas. She is also a huge fan of string cheese. If I give her a lot of dog treats she will get sick. We take so long to go through a bag it is ridiculous. I will give her little pieces of meat sometimes but not a lot and not often. Every day though, at least once but often twice she gets an ark naturals dental treat and she loves them- there is toothpaste in the middle? I used to do their gentle digest treats too with a probiotic but she has decided she doesn't like them anymore.

I think for dog treats, actual food, even raw is better than processed dog treats.

| Piper doesn't like much that she's "supposed" to like...cheerios, nope; carrots, nope; doggie cookies, nope...She wants a bite of chicken or chicken jerky as reward for going outside or for staying back when I go out with garbage. Some days she plays me w/in and out games, so amount of treats vary, but I try to keep 'em minimal (try being the operative word). |

| Ha cookies !!! We were getting all sorts of gas problems which we think were from Cookies so stopped and then added in a brilliant ProBiotic for dogs that we use on our 2 Yorkies ( Stella & Artois ...shallow I know ! ) . We just mix in a couple of scoops into their food each day. It has helped with loose stools (yuk ) and gas plus I think they have much shinier coats . Its from Tippy Toes Pet Boutique and we got it on Amazon for about $35 here is a link if it helps you https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017WM4TSW |

| LOL it always amuses me when other dogs eat things like carrots and veggies etc. Jackson would look at me like I was CRAZY. He usually won't touch Cheerios either (unless I'm eating a bowl and they're in milk, then he wants a taste...) He will eat crunchy biscuit-style treats at home like as a bedtime snack but not if we are in public. In other words, he's not going to work hard for them. So basically he gets a treat before bed every night. It could vary. Sometimes it's a Dentastix or some kind of "dental chew", sometimes it's a dog biscuit (we do Nature's Variety sometimes, or Natural Balance biscuit thing, occasionally a regular ole' Milkbone). If we are doing trick training, I use freeze-dried treats or something tasty & meaty that he works hard for (Zuke's has little training treats and Pet Botantics he likes... Primal has some freeze dried treats). OH and he goes absolutely nuts for Bare Bites (they're liver treats).

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I used to buy some store bought treats, then I just use my own. Veges carrots, celery, sweet potatoe, chicken,beef lamb etc. Pea size for my Yorkie and double that for the blackies. Amount offered treats depends on the days training. Last night magic went through about four ounces or more now that boy is a big dog. Maybe 100lbs or more. When we are very active all get an extra meal. I don't reward for swimming or dock jumping the activity is the reward in itself. That is when all get an extra meal.

| I don't usually give them cookies daily because I don't find it healthy for them even if it's just made for dogs. I gave them cookies or treats like once a week. I prefer to give them carrots because it's good for them. |

| Sophie gets one cookie at some point during the day but we also give her tiny pieces of freeze dried liver through out the day, kind of on demand. She always gets a few in her crate when we go out, one when we get home and a couple right before bed, the rest of the day she knows where the jars are and when she wants one will go over to them and stare at them and let out little grunts. Seems like she gets a lot but we cut up the pieces of liver into pea sized pieces for her, so she only ends up getting the equivalent of 1-1.5 pieces of liver a day. |

| Kenzie gets little bites of veggies and cookies (she loves her Cranberry Fruity Snacks and her Petco peanut butter cookies). She gets less than 1/2 of the cookie per day.
