Any ideas for treats for dogs with no teeth?
I just adopted three more dogs 2 weeks ago from a breeder rescue, and we are doing potty training now. I normally feed my dogs home-cooked stuff exclusively, but purchased several bags of "soft-moist" commercial dog chow to use for training purposes (dog pees in the right spot, he gets a bit of "puppy crack" as I call it. Everyone goes ga-ga over puppy crack, so this has worked well thus far). I was horrified to read the Sticky above about the "secrets the pet food industry doesn't want you to know," specifically about "soft-moist" puppy crack. What alternatives should I consider for potty training and so on? Two in training are older (ages 8 & 9) and have no teeth at all. The ones with no teeth are tiny-tiny, weighing in at 1.4 and 1.5 kg, so I need something small they won't choke on. They have trouble handling dry puppy crack. They kind of gag on it. Am thinking of using shreds of cheese, but any other ideas? I have a couple of dogs who don't like cheese and also some of them seem unable to smell it, which is a problem in behavior training, so some stinky non-cheese ideas would be much appreciated. |

I would use bits of cheese or bits of cooked scrambled eggs (keep refrigerated).
Yumm, cheese omelette.

bits of chicken will never see a turned up nose. The are also several types of dehydrated chicken strips now available. Also dehydrated cheese and liver makes most dogs go nuts.
I find the simplest treats (one meat ingredients) are often the most rewarding, and healthiest. |

I also use one ingredient treat. My dog loves the purebites chicken.
I would also give carrot. It's good for dogs' teeth |
