All Hallows' Eve is the time when everyone seems to eat more sweets than any other time of year. Between Halloween parties and trick or treating, you can find candies, cookies, and other treats anywhere you turn. However, if you have a dog, you might want to make sure these treats are either dog-friendly and/or stashed higher than your doggie's snout can reach.
Usually, when my dog gets his snack, he will take it in his mouth, trot to some comfy place in the house, and sit down to nibble on whatever treat he received. With the piece of Freeze Dried Liver Snack I gave him, this was not the case. Instead of following his doggie routine, Bailey takes the treat in his mouth and eats on the run.
I found another great dog treat to try with picky pups. My dog, Bailey, is a self-proclaimed rawhide addict who also likes the SmartBones rawhide alternatives. However, he has recently given his approval for cow hooves with jerky fillings. In addition to the rawhides, the cow hooves are about the furthest I have gone with natural treats.
My pup is a rawhide addict. If there was a Rawhide Addict Anonymous group, I would be the first one to sign Bailey up. He loves the taste, the shape, the texture, and the challenge. He even gets a little picky, sniffing an offered rawhide up and down like a fine cigar.
I will be the first to admit that my dog, Bailey, is a rawhide addict. As he's gotten older, I've slowed down his rawhide consumption. However, his rawhide obsession kept his teeth pearly white. He is 3 1/2 years old and only now starting to show a little bit of staining on his teeth. He constantly chews on toys and balls, and sometimes, he will chew on a rawhide that is not quite up to his picky standards.
