Cheerios treat? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My almost 4 month old puppy loves peanut butter Cheerios, is it ok to give her those as a treat??

kjc · 04-12-2013, 05:00 PM

I give just plain Cheerios bc I heard of one dog having a reaction to the multigrain type.

Mine share the honey nut with me each morning with no problem.

I give the plain but was thinking of the honey nut ones next time. Thought they would taste better.

My little one does not care for treats really. I may try Cheerios.

I can't fix myself a bowl of cheerios without giving Gulliver a handful. He loves them.

We haven't tried the PB ones, but our dogs love the multi-grain. They seem to have some sugar-coating, so I don't know if that's something to be concerned with.

Our dogs get PB every day with their medications, so I bet they would love the PB Cheerios. We will have to check them out!

The sugar coated Cheerios make an excellent treat, especially for puppies....We often caution about hypoglycemia in puppies, and how important it is that youngsters get enough rest and enough food to eat, in order to fuel up the energy reserves for the pup, in order to avoid hypoglycemia. Giving small quantities of these sugar coated treats, sporadically during the day, can help meet the need for the bump in sugar intake, that restores the glucose levels and provides the necessary sugar to keep energy reserves up without depleting the pups glucose. I give these to all my dogs, as treats, at all ages, and they love them!!!

I used to give the strawberry yogurt cheerios untill my grocer quit carrying it now I give honey nut

Verbena · 04-13-2013, 03:15 AM

Cheerios are fine

Kilton · 04-13-2013, 04:31 AM

Good! She loves them and she's so darn fussy about treats, I finally found something she likes and am not paying for overpriced treats she doesn't like!

Teresiana · 04-13-2013, 06:51 AM

Mine love Cheerios! They actually prefer the plain over the Honey Nut. I didn't even know they made peanut butter Cheerios. I might have to grab a box of those

I quit giving mine treats years ago when we had that FIRST major chiocken jerky treat recall that killed so many dogs before it was determined it was something in the jerky, made in China....it was responsible for killing all 5 of my best friends babies with liver cirrhosis and kidney failure. Mine get only human food as treats...fruits, veggies, vanilla wafers, Teddy Grahams, animal crackers, Fruit Loops, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheddar Cheese Fishes, etc.

Human food treats are so much cheaper anyway!
