Small quantities of apple make a great dog treat. Our dog Crusher loves them.
We try to avoid seeds and stems and we don’t offer him dehydrated apple slices.
In the summer time frozen apple pieces are one of Crushers favorite treats!

Linda Bradley There is a handy and colorful chart on Woofipedia of common people foods showing which are pet safe and which are not: http://www.woofipedia.com/articles/which-foods-are-safe-to-feed-your-pet. Note the safe foods are only given in moderation. My Westie goes for all of the foods on the safe side except banana.

I am interested in making/baking my own dog treats. What ingredients are the best and are there some that are best to avoid? I have 3 dogs: 8 yr old Border Collie mix, 12 yr old Jack Russell, a 2 yr old German Shorthaired Lab mix.

Kaz Kallin I make my own treats all the time since I have one dog that is on a vegetarian diet. Peanut butter is a good ingredient, so are blueberries and bananas. We use oat flour in all the treats we make and substitute maple syrup for sugar.

That’s the recipe we used as a starter and have experimented since then.

Kelly Furgason Making your own treats is easy and fun! There are lots of recipes online and treat recipe books you can use too. Almost any human recipe can be modified for pets. For dogs and cats omit the sugar. They do not need it and will never know it’s missing.
You can use regular flour or omit it if your pet has an allergy. You can use oat flour, rice flour, buckwheat flour, quick cook or regular oats. Grated carrot, applesauce, peanut or nut butters, eggs are also common ingredients
Steer clear of salt, garlic, onions, chocolate
Pinterest also has lots of recipes for pets too
Have fun!!

andrea Lee Roundfield I would believe so especially if the dog isnt healthly, a pup or senior an or not current with vaccines, heartworm treatment, etc. I’d imagine so.

Laurie McDowell Tapeworms is the biggest risk. Many a barn dog have had a steady diet of all kinds of poop and lived to tell the tale however.

Jana Post author Good question. Glad nothing really scary is hiding in that. I’m not sure whether it’s so yummy or whether the guys wanted to “remove her marking” of their territory 🙂

I looking at a Sheltie puppy. I have located a breeder, but apparently has been treated, I believe successfully, for Puppy Strangles. Just a few questions: Is this curable? and are there any long term effects after treatment?

Jana Post author Counterargument =
– blood test for both guys is $300, panacur is $30
– fecal came back negative once already but often can come back negative while parasites present
– each fecal = 3 hour trip to a vet
– two dogs previously not allergic developing suddenly both allergies to something at the same time?
– Fergus vet says most cases, regardless of negative fecal, count goes down after administration
– panacur seems relatively benign, particularly when given with can food (or like) … ?
– vaccinations in September
– environmental exposure to critters high, exposure to allergens low (Winter time)
– Fergus vet’s reasoning = run the treatment and re-test the blood and pursue further diagnostics if not resolved (he’s convinced it will be)Thoughts?

I am at work but, my husband is at home and just called saying he gave Paige, our Boxer her Heartgard and she vomited about 30 minutes later. He cannot tell if the Heartgard was in the vomit or not. Is it safe to give her another one later or tomorrow?
Thank you,
Dawn Gillispie

Sorry for the misunderstanding; our guys are fine. The lifting feet is only temporary and we always rush back indoors. Though one morning hubby had to carry JD from a potty break because he refused to move. I mean from the time when they notice their feet feel cold to actual frostbite. We had a number of “mad dashes for cover” and I think we probably had more time than that … ?
