Treats and chews

[adora's mom]

I was wondering what kind of treats, biscuits and chews everyone gives their Frenchies?

Adora is obsessed with bully sticks! I'd like to give her a little variety :)

Dari LOVES Bullysticks as well.I like them too.I give marrow bones.
NO rawhide in this house..NO greenies either..

I don't give greenies either - too much of a fight! Gigi & Lola LOVE marrow bones! And they love bully stix too. I also buy dried chicken breast filets from Trader Joe's (cheaper than Petsmart) and you have never seen two dogs sit, stay, or whatever faster :lol:. For the rest of their treats, I mix it up ... I buy some flavored dog biscuits - Old Mother Hubbard are my favorite. I also get some minty flavored biscuits since I don't give greenies. Right now I'm giving some sort of soft filled biscuit in the morning (Lola suffers from acid reflux so they get two biscuits first thing so that she won't throw up her water) - it's supposed to be good for the coat, but what really matters is that they're lamb flavored and the girls love 'em. And, for 'crating up' in the car I have a super-special treat -- jerky! Yes, jerky that you buy at the gas station (always handy when in car). They hear that jerky bag and start drooling :D. Probably your best bet is to just read the ingredients, decide what you want your doll to have and test!

By the way ... when my two were teething their favorite things ever were ROCKS. About 2/3 in in radius. If I took 'em away, they just went and found more. After about 2 mo of rock chewing, they stopped. Just check their teeth to make sure that they're not breaking them. Yes, I was worried, but as I said, they just found more if I took them away!

I'm sure Dora will love testing and discovering her favorite treats for you!!

Abby is not big on snacks. She has her one meal/day and seems content with that. She does like bullysticks but I don't buy them mostly because Ferris will get protective of them. Ferris will eat almost any snack but I have to watch him because he will oftentimes take them out into the yard and hide them. And then he may find them weeks later when they are really disgusting. :(

manja seems to eat anything and everything with the same enthusiasm
but he really loves little carob drops (carob is a healthier alternative to chocolate and fine for dogs)

that is really funny!!!
Biggie gets all kinds of treats, he tends to be picky so we are always trying new things..BullyStix are a constant in our house, i buy them in bulk on the internet. No rawhide in our home either Fran :-)
No Greenies, they make him throwup for some reason
Mother Hubbards he likes, but only certain flavors
Breath busters he usually likes
i hate to say it, i know they are sooooooo bad for him but dogwiches. he loves them, they are sometimes hard to find i thought they took them off the shelves for a little bit there..
his favorite after walk treat is dried beef liver..100%liver

Lenny and Sweetie get Lean Treats. They are only available at the vets office. My two love them. They are made with chicken. I make sure to pick up a couple of packages everytime we go in. Lenny also loves apple. He eats what Frank leaves behind on his apple. We just hold it for him and make sure he doesn't get into the seeds. Both puppies also love all fruit popsicles. I hold it and one puppy eats the first half and then the second puppy eats the other half. It is really funny to watch.

Molly's favorite snacks are apples and carrots!

She suffers from allergies and we have not narrowed down exactly what she is allergic to food-wise, so those are the only treats she is allowed to have.

Greenies made her throw up too.

We don't give greenies either. The thing is, one of our Frenchies tries to swallow the darn things whole. I'm wondering if the slick texture is the cause of this.
