Congratulations to JJ and Adrienne for winning their respective cat and dog each a fantastic care package! And thanks to all of you who submitted a response; you gave us lots of ideas for our own pampered pooches and crafty kitties.
Does your dog or cat have a favorite treat? We want to know what it is! Carrots, apples, liverwurst…whatever it is, we want to hear about it. We’re giving away two care packages of healthy treats — one to a randomly selected dog owner and the other to a randomly selected cat owner — just enter your pet’s favorite healthy treat as a comment below by July 21st! What’s that…your pet’s favorites aren’t healthy? Well, we won’t disqualify you. Your pet may need the care package more than others! Tell us what treats they eat now, healthy or not.
A little over a year ago, I got a puppy. The week before I picked him up, I researched training treats like crazy. I wanted to make sure he started his life off healthy (and obediently) with treats that were free of byproducts and artificial stuff. Once I got him home, I discovered that not only did he LOVE the treats I’d settled on, but he also LOVED frozen broccoli florets. Nothing beats a refreshing frozen broccoli floret on a hot summer day!
What’s your pet’s favorite healthy treat? Enter your comment below by July 21 and you just might win a care package for your pet.
Note: The winning pet care packages will be created with an array of these products.

I have 2 dogs: 1 is 14 years old and the other is 4 months old.Their favorite treat is the Castor and Pollux Sun Dried Rawhide. They will scrap over it everytime. The puppy likes to make KC do the “breakdown” work and then barks at her until she gives it to him. Back and forth they go until it’s gone!

I have two pugs. One (the fat guy) eats anything. He loves lettuce and tomatoes. The other (skinny guy) is very pickie, but he really loves dried yams. Of course the fat guy loves dried yams too.

My German Shepherd loves apples!

Favorite treats for my dogs are your dried chicken strips. They are crazy about them. Just found out recently too that they LOVE your ginger snap cookies. My elderly dog with stomach problems won’t eat much but the ginger snaps have restarted her appetite.

My cats love the chicken liver I buy at Whole Foods. They go crazy when I cook it up for them.

My 12.5 year old dog loves apple cores. Whenever she hears the knife on the cutting board,she comes running.

BLUEBERRIES My orange cats love blueberries fresh is best however in Telluride winters up on the ski mountian they would eat the canned small berries for muffins while snug in their condo. Kinda fun and healthy.

My cat likes cheese. She considers anything people are eating to be the ultimate treat but luckily she also likes Greenies because table scraps are not the healthiest treats!

My dog just loves Fage Greek Stle yogurt.
He gets so happy; he looks like he is smiling when I get the container out of the refrigerator.

My boston terrier Tonka LOVES homemade doggie ice cream, which I make with a banana, plain yogurt, peanut butter and a little bit of honey. YUM!

My cat’s favorite thing in the world is cantaloupe. I kid you not. She will turn down everything else to stick her head in half a cantaloupe melon and won’t resurface for 20 minutes.
July 22nd, 2010 at 12:54 am
My cats love shredded cheese! They’re weirdos.
July 22nd, 2010 at 7:48 am
One of my dogs goes crazy for peanut butter. he comes running any time he heard the jar.
My other dog goes crazy for carrots which are healthy, and Coffee(!). You can’t drink coffee when he is around because he will do anything to try to drink some.

My dog loves to have his jingle bell stuffed! It’s a big rubber chew toy with a hollow center that looks like a jingle bell and we stuff it with biscuits. Takes him about 15 minutes of hard chewing to get all of it out.

I got two puppies, a CHIDachs. I am now giving veggie treats to them. One gobbles up what I hand her a tidbit, the ohter discards and then changes mind to gobble it down too. It is such a joy to watch them interact.

My cats love Petguard treats!

Being a completely new dog owner I like all the insight listed here. I want my dog to be effectively trained and have a healthful setting to live in. Many thanks for the tips.

Our dogs (two English Mastiff’s & one foster mastiff) looooooooove cheese! They salivate at the sight or smell of it. Since they are so large, we have to give it to them quickly so there isn’t a river beneath them. While they love other treats purchased or prepared for them, Cheese seems to be the one thing they are completely addicted to. When we prepare food in the kitchen they watch or listen for the sound of the package and trust me – they know what it sounds or smells like. They slip & slide all over the laminent floors when they hear the cheese, scrambling to be the first in line. They sit staring at you – watching every move you make until – yes, Mom or Dad finally pass out their pieces – ahhhhhh euphoria appears on their faces & they are in heaven!

Between me and my husband we’ve had more than 3 dogs with arthritis. 2 of them unforunately passed away due to it got so bad. I really wich poeple who have a dog with arthritis get as much help as possible and read everything you can on it. It really is painful for the animals as well.

I most certenly like your innovative angle that you have on the topic. Certainly wasn’t thinking on this at the time I begun searching for tips. Your ideas was totally easy to get. Im glad to find out that there’s an person online that obviously understands on the spot what its is talking about.

You are overcooking the noodles. If you put them in last and still happens, then put them in much later than usual. Or cook the noodles in a seperate pot, then just transfer the noodles to the chicken soup, when the soup is done cooking.

Our dachshund’s favorite low-cal treat is the long center stalk of a romaine lettuce leaf. She does not like the green leafy part, but only the stalk. Fortunately, my husband likes the green leafy part but not the stalk. So it’s a match! The dachshund at first carries around the stalk like a bone, but then eventually sits down and eats it. She absolutely loves this, comes running at the first scent/sound of romaine being prepared (which she can apparently smell/hear from quite a distance).

You presented some very nice specifics there. I did a searching on the topic and found most people may consent through your blog.

One thing I’d really like to touch upon is that weightloss routine fast can be achieved by the perfect diet and exercise. Ones size not simply affects appearance, but also the general quality of life. Self-esteem, http://www.pauliemilum.comdespression symptoms, health risks, and also physical ability are influenced in fat gain. It is possible to make everything right and at the same time having a gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the culprit. While excessive food but not enough exercising are usually to blame, common health concerns and widely used prescriptions might greatly increase size. Kudos for your post here.
