Often people ask me for healthy treat options for dogs. Just like humans, our dogs enjoy treats. But also like humans, the wrong treats can cause weight gain and other health issues. I am not a veterinarian but I have interviewed a Canine Nutritionist , twice and a Veterinarian. Both of these guests have stressed that much of the commercial pet treats and food is very unhealthy for dogs and cats. For these reasons, I decided to exclusively feed my dog homemade dog food and treats.
