Solid Gold sells jerky treats that are irresistable at least in regards to Judson, smile. They make a beef, lamb and venison jerky, we have the venison jerky. This treat is so rewarding that Judson will eat it while being poked in the back leg to have blood drawn. And he would never do that with kibble. Plus you can break them down into tiny tiny pieces. Other treats I have used in the past. Old Muther Hubbord sells these things called "bitz" that are just the right size and work well for treats, ar dry so no worry about spoilage. Three Dog Bakery sells these little nickel sized things, they come in many many verieties and you get a ton innthe can, Judson loves the peanut butter ones again they are small enough for training treats and dry so they don't spoil. This is basically what I use, and judson is allergic to lamb, corn, beets, dairy and eggs. The Jerky treats have also stopped him in a dead run after a toad, something that any other treat can not do. Need less to say they are seriously rewarding for him. Shelley L. Rhodes B.S.

Belle has a very sensitive stomach and lately it has been worse than usual. She is moderately food motivated. Her regular kibble isn't inspiring her at all. She isn't eating one of the recalled foods or one made by that manufacturer and she has no other symptoms. The tolerance of food has been an ongoing issue from the beginning. The vet says she's fine. She is fine as long as she doesn't get any strange foods. Or perhaps there is some other way to figure out what specifically is upsetting her stomach? I don't think it's allergies because the offending food comes back up within 10 minutes to a few hours. I am really tired of cleaning the carpet or making mad dashes to open the door in time. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
