Any dog treats with little / no protein?

Cheese  |
| Anything like milkbone, or denta stix etc are likely low protein, I'm curious as to why you would be seeking low protein treats? I myself search for higher protein (meat based) treats.... |
| our dog (9 yrs) is in great shape; arthritic though. we started him on Rimadyl this past summer '11, 50mg daily. he was recently tested as high-normal in creatinine. we want to watch his protein intake. he was also tested high normal in calcium earlier this year. we used to give him cheese almost daily for treats. and this past year, we gave him a lot of salmon jerky as treats. |

| Makes sense... you might want to try home made treats? I'm sure there are recipes out there, but some kind of cookie made with carrots or apples? |
| Good idea I will look. Thanks |
| Dexter thinks he has been an especially good dog when he gets a whole carrot or big hunk of sweet potato. He expects a 1/2" slice of a turkey hot dog anytime someone opens the fridge (we slice up a whole package at a time and put it in a sandwich bag). |
| Baby Food Dog Cookies • 3- 4oz jars baby food • 1/4 cup cream of wheat cereal • 1/4 cup dry milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients together, mixing well. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. This is the recipe with my adjustments: Baby Food Dog Cookies • 3- 4oz jars organic baby food (make sure the ingredients do not include Onion Powder) • 1 cup whole-wheat flour or rye flour • 1/2 cup dry milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients together, mixing well. Drop cookies on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Flip cookies over, flatten each ball with a fork and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Store in the refridgerator. Makes about 16-20 cookies, depending on how big you drop them on the cookie sheet These are fun and easy to make. I have made a variety of flavors using the fruit flavored baby food and also the chicken dinners and sweet potatoes. Tonight I made 2 different flavors: Apple, Blueberry & Banana and Strawberry, Banana & Peach. I also sprinkled some cinnamon into the Strawberry, Banana & Peach ones; they ended up smelling like a cobbler. Oh! This recipe does work out well if you substitue the 1 cup flour for 1 cup cream of wheat. I just don't like the texture as much, but the puppies didn't care.  |
| I have treats that are freeze-dried. They come in four different types: liver, fish, cheese and also veggies. Bella loves the dehydrated green beans, and carrots. I forget the name of the company that makes them but they are pretty common at country max and our local feed store. |

If you want to keep the protein low I would avoid any recipes with meat, fish, especially organ meats like liver. The baby food recipe sounds ideal. |
| I meant that they were in 4 different bags. They make an all cheese or and an all veggie. |
| Remember cheese is protein. Try different people foods.......Jack is not problem.........anything goes down that gullet. He loves carrots, broccoli, apples (even MO will eat an apple slice). Jack will take citrus, the others won't. Harry is pure dog, none of that silly people food unless it's leftovers over his dinner or a chance to lick a plate. |
| Just keep in mind that carrots go out as they go in! we super steam our carrots and then mush up and add to food...For treats, I get pumpkin cookies about 22 calories, made with all natural ingrddients and nice larger size. I get from www.petextras.com They have other natural low cal cookies too. Maybe you an find some suitable for your dog... |
| Yeah, but the dog is happy putting them in. He's also a riot with an apple, though I've had to start slicing them for him least he try to swallow too large a piece. |
