Not only should you be careful about the food you feed your pets but you should choose their treats carefully too. Many treats are total junk food loaded with preservatives, sugar, food colors and additives. You should look for treats made with all natural ingredients. Listed below are some of my favorite dog treats (and my dog Xena totally agress!) and where you can purchase them.

The following are treats I would try to stay away from: Beggin' Strips, Pupperoni, Snausages, Canine Carryouts, rawhide, Ol' Roy products, and Greenies. See related link on the dangers of Greenies. I did see they have a new version of Greenies out that may not present the same hazards but I wouldn't rush to buy them until they've been out a while.
