My Max ate carrots all his life after a bout with bladder stones when he was 2 (stopped little treats and rawhide, etc). I'd swear that carrots were just as delicious to him as a giant plate of steak would have been lol |
Yup, that's what MIL says about Uni's love fore carrot and cucumber. She says she eats them like they were a steak! |

Welcome to Yorkie Talk! Do they have Cheerios cereal in Australia ? (whole or multi grain) Great for treats for training and not as filling as some doggy treats. Plus no recall on those. I also use Zuke's mini naturals, my pups love them. As long as you dont give the treat with every single command they wont be too filling for him. You can schedule your training for after he has had his normal meals to make sure he's getting the nutritional values he needs. |
I see Dawn just mentioned Cheerios. They are great little inexpensive treats. Mine all love them. They also love cooked carrots and green beans. I buy them frozen, cook just enough to make tender and then they will eat them warm or co.d from the fridge. Yorkie Yummies are another option, made and sold by a YT member. Tiny size and natural ingredients make them a good choice. You are right to be concerned with both quality and quantity. Puppies are easily filled up on treats so the smaller the better. Zukes are agreat choice for commercially prepared as are individual pieces of any tiny, high quality puppy food. I am more a fan of dry food instead of wet. I like to free feed, especially puppies and that is much more practical with dry. Dry also gives them a normal chewing outlet which helps. (But doesn't prevent) chewing things you'd rather not get chewed. |
OP- try drying out just a small amount of your pu's wet food in the oven...45 mins or so on the lowest setting should do it. ;) |
My two love sweet potatoes. I slice them thin and bake around 250 degrees in the oven for about 2 1/2 hrs because I don't have a dehydrator. They love them! That way I know they aren't eating junk! |
Thanks for all the extra advice, it's really helped make up my mind! |

Goodness, I hope I'm wrong! I was making guacamole Friday night and dropped a small piece. I pretty much freaked out, and Sam begged for more, of course. |
I wish mine would eat fruits and veggies, for training he will only work with cheese and chicken, otherwise he will just walk away and not work. He doesn't get treats except for training |
I use Pet Botanics Mini Training Rewards, beef flavor. They are only 1/2 calorie per treat, small, soft, and chewy, and my Bella LOVES them. The ingredients are all natural, and the first ingredient is pork liver. |
Treats I trust anything made by Blue Buffalo including their treats. Love what I'm seeing with their pet food on my 3 rescue cats and now my new puppy will be enjoying Blue Buffalo puppy food. Seems they put a lot of time and effort into creating a healthy,holistic pet feed.:2puppy: |
