Are All of Treats ok??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

YorkieSpirit1 · 05-31-2012, 11:51 AM

I've been buying some treats for my new puppy that I will be getting in a week, just wanted to check and see about the ones I have so far:

Natural Balance Healthy Bones with Oatmeal Chicken Pumpkin
Canidae Bit-Sized Biscuits for Dogs-Snap-Bits (Chicken & Turkey Meals)
Zuke's mini Naturals Chicken Formula
Zuke's mini Naturals Peanut Butter Formula

Hope these are ok to give as treats.

Those look good- Just be careful when you are giving him anything hard, Puppies tend to take more than they can chew, bigger harder treats can be a choking hazard. I would just do small bites

Congrats on your baby! When are you getting him?

most important to me is where they are made, then the ingredients and of course then if they will actually eat them. lol as long as you know what that they are good ingredients that is most important i believe. plus read the fine print when you get them to be sure they are safe for puppies and do not have a suggested weight of the puppy to eat them some zukes products for example they do not suggest for puppies or dogs under five pounds in the fine print.

They are all for small breed, the Zuke's are soft bite size ones, the Canidae are small bite size but are crunchy, The Natural Balance are for small breeds, they are a little larger shaped like a little bone, but not real hard, just a little harder. But I will definitely read the fine print on all of the bags, I would think the softer small treats would be best, Zuke's is a good brand, I've heard.....Have to give her some kind of reward when she potties on the potty pad..LOL, just want to make sure its the correct treat.

Zuke is a good brand, They are soft, but at the same time they are kinda hard- Try getting a sample of the ones you are looking into so you can see if your puppy likes them and see what you think of them..My yorkie wont touch them, but he is kinda picky! How old will the puppy be?

Are the Nyla bones you get for your pup safe, and okay to give them? My new yorkie loves to chew on them and I want to be sure they are safe for him.
