Dog treats...What do you guys use?
Let me know, just curious...
Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
I use them sparingly with puppies....its amazing what a lil chunk of hot dog can accomplish. I don't use them for dogs at all. My feelings are that our dogs should be carrying out requests or commands because we have asked....not because they will get a treat.
Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
I cook up venison treats.
2 cups flour
2 cup corn meal
1 cup wheat germ
1-2 cup ground cooked venison (I use 2lbs, so I think thats 2 cups)
1 cup vegatable oil
2 eggs
1 cup beef broth
1 tsp salt
Roll it out, cut, bake. There's instructions on the net somewhere. I usually dry them out for a bit in the oven on low heat after they're baked so they get more crunchy. Not a great cook, so I dont know how to fix the crispy'ness. Less meat probably. Anyway, our dogs love them and they're economical, probably even healthy?

I got to go with the oscar meyer weiner thing though,,,, but I think we determined they can cause somekind of sickness,,, can't remember wasn't paying very much attention when we got to that point in the thread,,,, but just on the safe side I think the vote was for turkey franks.
Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
If they can I don't think they would be on the market. Too many little kids plus some of us older one eat way too many hotdogs right out of the package. If I use them for a treat which is next to never unless I am getting a dog ready for the showring, I eat as much as the dog gets as that is the easiest place to carry a small peice to use for bait. And I have never heard of anyone getting sick on a precooked hotdog.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Holy schmolies, remember when Copper was so ill she wouldn't even eat that favorite casserole?? Thought for sure she was gonna need to get her affairs in order that time...I'm not a dog scientist per se but seems to me when a dog won't eat it's favorite casserole, that's darn serious! :roll:My dad's wife cooks up a casserole dish that his dog likes an awful lot,, I'll see if I can't get the recipe.

In the United States, an estimated 2,500 persons become seriously ill with listeriosis each year. Of these, 500 die. At increased risk are:
Pregnant women - They are about 20 times more likely than other healthy adults to get listeriosis. About one-third of listeriosis cases happen during pregnancy.
Newborns - Newborns rather than the pregnant women themselves suffer the serious effects of infection in pregnancy.
Persons with weakened immune systems
Persons with cancer, diabetes, or kidney disease
Persons with AIDS - They are almost 300 times more likely to get listeriosis than people with normal immune systems.
Persons who take glucocorticosteroid medications

Healthy adults and children occasionally get infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill. They just feel like crap.

I mostly use praise, but I use the Natural Balance treat rolls when I do use food.

Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
For general training we use Old Mother Hubbard dog biscuits because they break up into nice small chunks without turning into crumbs. Originally, we used Iams Puppy Biscuits, but since the last 2 boxes we bought (from 2 different stores!) were infested with bugs, we said bye-bye Iams. Zio seems to enjoy the OMH's every bit as much as he did the Iams, so no loss there.
Meanwhile, during obedience we use "special" treats: cooked Jennie-O Turkey Hot Dogs cut up into very small "tastes". We used to buy the economy package of chicken hotdogs from the supermarket, but Zio always seemed so thirsty after training that I had to take another look at the ingredients. The amount of sodium (salt) in them was crazy! So, after some searching I came up with the Jennie-O's that are much lower in sodium. Pretty cheap, too.
Just my $0.02's worth,

This isn't convincing enough for me to stop giving my pup (nor my kids) one of their favorite treats.
With only 2500 diagnosed TOTAL cases annually, (1 in 5 of those being fatal). :roll:
I'd say that the millions of kids and dogs that eat hot dogs straight from the package are more likely to be struck by lightning, while getting ran over by a garbage truck, crossing the train tracks...
Sounds to me like a sales pitch for more the more expensive, less effective dog treats.
Just my personal opinion...
Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
I don't give anything other than good dog food. I don't use food as a reward. I want my dogs to be in good condition. I know how many calories per day they are getting. If the family uses dog treats etc. they can take in a lot more calories then they need, pretty quickly X 7 days a week.
Just the way i do it. I know, I'm a meanie Mom.

Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
I used to cut liver into tiny chunks put it on a cookie sheet sprinkle a little garlic on it and bake it for about 10 minutes @ 250. It dries up to little chunks that dogs love. Cheap and I assume tasty.
Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
I buy Canine Carryouts. They're moist chunks and can be bought at most pet and grocery stores. They are pretty inexpensive and can be broken into smaller pieces. I use them to teach pups to crate and to come when called. It's proven to be a very conflict free way to get a pup to enter a crate reliably and lightning fast at a very young age. Once they learn the task, then I'm more sporadic in treating. The adult dogs still net out every now and again, just because , even more so now that I have a pup in the house again.
That sounds about right.I'd say that the millions of kids and dogs that eat hot dogs straight from the package are more likely to be struck by lightning, while getting ran over by a garbage truck, crossing the train tracks...

Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
I give mine all different types of dog biscuits, or hot dogs just as a treat for standing around once in awhile..I dont treat for dog training purposes, dog must listen to the command because I gave it and I am the alpha pack leader not because its getting a treat, it does get lots of praise for obeying though..
ever watch the DOG Father DVD its a good one, even though its not for bird dogs per say but a obedience DVD for any type of dogs not all but many of the ideas in that DVD can be translated to bird dogs and work well..

Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
Watch your local grocery store flyers for bargains. Last week outside round was $1.66/pound, and that's C$. WAY, WAY cheaper than most treats and healthier than most too. No, I did not count the cost of electricity to cook it. I now have nearly 15 lbs, the smallest size roast I could get, cut up into little pieces in my freezer. Only nearly because it turned out to be a much better cut of beef than it should have been and we ate a hunk ourselves.

Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
sliced hot dogs.
I also use venison jerky. I like that better when I am having to put the "bait" into my mouth when showing a dog. I hate hot dogs!!

Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
Usually use treats only for puppies, and even then sparingly. But I buy some liver flavored treats called "Bil-Jac". They come in a purple paper milk carton pkg and the pups seem to enjoy them.

We use the smaller Biljac Chicken Liver treats (look like little milk bones). We get a case of 6 large bags for $25.00 at dog shows. Cheapest quality treats I have found. 2 dogs with 1-2 a day lasts over a year.

Re: Dog treats...What do you guys use?
Zuke's ... healthful and no refrigeration needed. $10/lb., but save time cutting hot dog bits and as i said, much better for your dog.
