Your dog loves them and you love giving them to him. But unfortunately, store-bought snacks are calorie bombs and can undo all the work you’ve put into separating breakfast and dinner. Fresh fruits and vegetables are equally valuable. You need to condition your dog to recognize them as: dog treats.
“I always encourage pet owners to introduce vegetables and fruits to their pets as early as possible at a young age,” Wynn says. “They are the healthiest treats available to us. If you teach your dog early that vegetables are good for them, they will become a treat for them.”
For a quick treat, consider small apple slices (seedless), pear slices, blueberries, mini carrots, or frozen green beans for a cold snack.
