Training Treats: Has anyone done a recent study on healthy ones? - Spoiled Maltese - the largest maltese dog forum and website

It is time for me to order some new training treats for Zippy. Has anyone done a recent research on what is available and healthy?

Thanks in advance,
Barbara

my favorite treat is baking an organic chicken breast from costco on 350 for 40 min and chopping it up in a little baggie for them -- it is safe, healthy and they love it

Chicken is fine.

As far as store bought, I really like the Buddy Biscuits soft and chewy. You can break them up very small. Solid Gold Tiny Tots, too. I also use Natural Balance roll food and cut it into tiny bits.

Lady love the soft and chewy Buddy Biscuits! She isn't in training, though. At her age she just gets them for being wonderful.

We have had good luck with Baby Carrot pieces, they love em and will do anything for them.

I like Zuke's Mini Naturals treats for training.

I'm another soft Buddy Biscuit fan and home cooked chicken treats. I make the chicken treats by chopping boiled chick breast, adding a egg and oat bran (organic from Whole Foods), and then making small patties. I then bake at 300 degrees for an hour. This makes the treats hard. I freeze them and use as needed. All the pups in my neighborhood love them.

Dixie likes anything! She loves raw or cooked green beans and carrots. Mommy likes Sojos Grain-Free Dog Treats in the cherry almond flavor. She loves them. Good Dog wheat & corn free dog treats are great too. We've only tried the chicken pot pie flavor but I'm sure she would love the others just as much. Kisses to Zippy and hugs to you, Barbara.

Organic cheerios-type cereal works for us.
