Freeze dried peas - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ShowGirlLola · 11-11-2013, 10:02 PM

I was at petsmart as a puppy class with a yorkie and yorkie mix was ending and they asked if Lola wanted to come in and play. Lola had a great time and I liked the trainer, so we're going to take classes with them

.

One of the ladies was giving her dog freeze dried peas and she gave a few to Lola, she LOVED them. The lady was nice enough to give us some to take home. The bag she had was 1.4oz and it's a lot of peas, well over a cup. Half the bag is 80 calories.

I had no idea these existed and defiantly wouldn't have thought to give them to Lola.

I might have to stop using them for training because she likes them a little too much.

Be wary... dried anything will absorb moisture from the intestines, and could possibly cause a blockage, especially in small dogs.

Peas also causes flatulence (gas) & mild abdominal discomfort in high amounts.

I give my boys frozen peas, thawed in warm water. My boys are big, about 9 pounds, and I don't give them more than 4 to 5 in a single day.
Peas add bulk to the stool.

Thanks for the warnings. I'll cut back to only using them for important things, like getting things away from her.
