Lunch meat..Bad for yorkies?

[JRo]

Tucker doesn't really care for treats either...especially any biscuit or cookie type treat. He looks at me like, "You eat it and I'll have your snack!" I understand how frustrating it can be to find a treat that your little guy goes crazy for. Like Frankie, Tucker also loves lunch meat but I've only given him really little bits on very rare occassion (even though I know I'm not supposed to). Tucker does, however, like raw fruits and veggies so I give him those as treats. I'll also give him a little yogurt from time to time. In terms of manufactured treats, I have finally found three that he will eat and enjoy:
1) Bil-Jac soft moist treats, liver flavor
2) Lean Treats available through the vet
3) Freeze dried meat
Hope that helps!

HE really likes them especially right from the fridge cuz they are cold he runs around with it, hides it gets it back out and then devours it good luck. and you can get the zekes treats at Petco, they are a really good size for yorkies.

You should try the natural balance, I am not a fan of pupperoni. The natural balance is made of all natural good things... My moms pups love the pupperoni, but I bought the natural balance as food for my dog.. He does not like beef.. go figure.. so I brought it over there.. lets just say... they loved me even more... followed me everywhere I went. Its 2.5 lbs for $6 at Petco, they also have 1lb size for $4 - you cannot beat that.. a treat thats good for them. Comes in different flavors too. Lamb, Duck, Chicken, Turkey, Beef. Easily digestible - just came out of pancreantitus with my Trink and this is what he ate for a couple of days before he decided he didn't like it.

I'm guilty of living Zoey turkey from the deli. It's not the packaged kind, it's fresh turkey breast from the deli and she's been getting it since she was a very baby. She gets a few pieces from my turkey sandwhich whenever i have one and I also wrap her heartworm pill in it. She loves it. I think as long as you don't feed it to them like a meal...ya know.

Pupperoni is high in fat and salt, and probably not the best treat for dogs.

Mine love the organic Bitty Buddies Tiny treats-PB or Sweet Potato flavor, and the lowfat apple/oatmeal Jump N Sit Bits from 3 Dog bakery, as well as frozen green peas, baby carrots, bananas, yogurt, cottage cheese, peaches, broccoli, green beans, and pieces of real chicken/fish (cooked). Try healthy all natural treats for your dog-it's better for them, cheaper, and if you wouldn't eat it, why should they?

I have given my furbaby lil pieces of boiled ham.
He never seemed to have a problem. Of course it was given in moderation.
