Low-cal treats? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sothe vet says that Louie is a little too much of a teapot. We have good food for him, according to the vet, but does anyone have good treat ideas that are low-cal?

Frozen green beans are good and mine love tiny pieces of mellon

reserve some of his food at meal time? teeny chunks of organic apple? NONE?

My yorkie lost three pounds since Oct 2011. He was put on Vital Essentials RAW beef patties. He cannot exercise for he has collapsing trachea that was almost stented :0

We are GRAIN free. It costs a bit more - but his health is worth it.

Louie's food is grain-free (he eats Fromm) and he has dental sticks that he ets every day that are made of spinach and apples. We haven't been as good with his treats, though.

Mine like carrots, peppers, celery, zucchini, etc. I've don't do fruits often but when we do its low sugar fruits like blueberries.

Mine PLAY with carrots

and I find them squished in the most random places! They won't eat them?? Loves tomatoes, tho.

I don't really offer treats often, either.

Mine love frozen green beans...that is about the only treat they get. Jada has too many allergies and tends to pack weight on easily.

Eat a little less and move a little more

Low cal veggies and fruit are working for my 2 teapots. Cozy is down 2 pounds since 3rd week of April and Lucy is down 1/2 pound. Cozy went from 16 pounds to 14 and Lucy went from 9.5 to 9 pounds. Cozy should be about 10 pounds and Lucy should be 7 pounds.
