I'd give them a chew bone instead. Keep them occupied for hours. And it's healthy!

I used to feed my neighbors dog antifreeze nuggets but he quit coming around. Don't know what happened to him.

I feed my two boxers Eukanuba. They have a breed specific food that works well for them. It's about $50 for a big bag but it's worth it. They require less of the food since their body processes more into energy. That also means better poops and also less of it. These two have sensitive stomachs. My last pair of boxes didn't so I fed them Nature's Recipe. It's a decent mid level food.
For treats they Blue Buffalo treats and also the occasional Greenie for their teeth.

I amazed at how many dog foods and treats get recalls and most of the time it doesn't make the news. I'm signed up at this place and get an email every time it happens, so I can make sure my brands aren't on it.

You got it, it's saved me once already. Everyone of them gets recalled at some point in time, it doesn't matter on the cost, or the quality of the food. I figured I would post that up for the dog owners around here and hopefully it helps someone in the future.

Probably in a very small minority, but we make our own food for our dogs. Ground beef, salmon, green beans and yogurt. It really seems to keep them pretty healthy, and they love it. I’m sure I wouldn’t mind eating it myself in a pinch either. Not sure it would be better than that crave stuff though!

You can keep a bag of 'baby carrots' in the fridge to use as a snack for your dog. Or a bag of 'babies' in your basement if your dog is a Pitt Bull.

I use ALPO Variety Snaps for Dog Treats. My dogs go "NUTS" for these. I've used these to teach my (8) dogs almost every trick there is. Just about $2.80 per box at Walmart. Break them into smaller pieces for small dogs.

Yup - frozen baby carrots (for puppies anyway).

Since they're frozen it takes them a little work and it helps make them feel a little better when they're teething. And for some weird reason freezing them makes them digest a little better so there aren't as many carrot shards in their poop.

I've always used them as training tools because those treats will just fatten them up too much. And since I've always had large breed dogs, you have to be really careful about their weight when they're young so their hips grow together well.

Carrots have a number of health benefits and don't have all the extra calories that don't do them any good.

If your dog won't eat those, try the charcoal based plain 'dog bone' biscuits. Jam a few of those into a Kong, slather peanut butter over the hole and then freeze that. The frozen peanut butter takes them awhile to lick through (while not getting it everywhere) and then they'll know on that kong for awhile trying to break those charcoal biscuits up to get to them. And they help with gas.
