• cakana Posted : 8/18/2006 5:25:54 PM My girls love carrots!  Actually, they love anything (labs []), but I give them carrots more than anything else.  They especially love frozen carrots. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 8/18/2006 5:48:21 PM Our favorites - Snackfish, EVO treats, dehydrated chicken, lamb trachs, and Granola Hide.   Kelly - you are the queen of links []!!  Those Snackfish look interesting and probably safe for my allergy girl.  Do you order them online or buy them somewhere locally? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sooner Posted : 8/18/2006 6:33:24 PM What can I say, I'm weird about references [&:] I love that company, their wet food is great too. It isn't available locally here, but they are based in California and I think in some stores there. I've had nothing but excellent experiences with ordering from them, and they have a frequent buyers program that gives a pretty good discount - but [linkhttp://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Ifex-Snackfish-Dog-Treats/192001.aspx]Only Natural Pet[/link] is quite a bit cheaper upfront. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Lee McCartney Posted : 8/18/2006 7:41:50 PM Raw meaty bones and bully sticks for long time chews. I also use the Natural Balance rolls (beef & turkey) as daily treats, but by far, the all time favorite around here is Bah Bah Qs (lamb lung).  The cheapest place I've found it is [linkhttp://www.petguys.com]www.petguys.com[/link] for about $11+ per bag.  Occasionally they run a 30 day sale for $9.99 and I usually stock up then. Now I'm off to check out the Snackfish. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• kennel_keeper Posted : 8/18/2006 8:43:05 PM I hear alot on here about treats, but haven't heard of ANYONE  who dehydrates the canned foods to use as treats. This is GREAT for dogs with "sensitivities" and the dogs love it! We have a few that board with us that can't have ANYTHING treatwise, but after talking to a few clients, we have decided that these "treats" are wonderful! They are cost-wise, easy to make, and very well accepted by the dogs!   Once made, you need to keep them in the fridge, but if you only make enough for a week, then there is usually no problem with "freshness" 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 8/18/2006 8:52:18 PM Actually, I've posted something similar.  When I did the elimination diet of pork & buckwheat for 12 weeks, I was desperate for something for a treat.  I took uncooked, but browned buckwheat and ground it into a flour consistency.  I mixed that with ground, cooked pork and buckwheat and made little rounds and baked them.  They were like crunchy cookies and Sassy loved them.  I made them in large batches and froze some and refrigerated some.  I should try that with the dry and canned duck & potato.  It'd probably be great.  Thanks for the idea. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• kennel_keeper Posted : 8/18/2006 9:04:19 PM It's really easy to do! You just used the canned version of the food your dog is on (ie: NB Duck...) spread a thin layer (1/4" thick) on a lined cookie sheet and make score marks in little squares into the layer. Bake at 350 until firm (not crispy, about 20 minutes). Once it's cooled, break the pieces up and store in a zip lock with grains of uncooked rice (to keep it dry). The dehydration process concentrates the flavors and the dogs really LOVE it!   Happy cooking! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 8/18/2006 9:10:34 PM Wow- that is easy.  I'm going to try that tomorrow.  Poor Sassy has only been getting carrots for treats cause the NB Duck & Potato treats are ridiculously expensive.   She sends her "thanks" in advance [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
