Treats for Fido (& You)

Published by jsfarmer at 1:22 am under Feeding, Greta, Recipe, Research

Dog treats are available in all shapes and sizes, but I’ve found that for my picky Greyhound, the produce aisle at my local Co-Op does the trick just fine.

I choose organic produce for a variety of health reasons, and I do the same for my dog, because if it’s good enough for me, it’s good enough for her!

Among the treats we’ve discovered that Greta enjoys:

Baby carrots
Watermelon
Cantaloupe
Strawberries
Bananas
Apples
Pumpkin (organic, canned–one aisle over)
Plain fat-free yogurt (organic–dairy case)

(In fact, we can’t even cut into a melon anymore without Greta peeking into the kichen and waiting for her share.)

Carrots seem to be in the air right now, so here’s a great recipe I plan to try this Spring, send to me by Sheri @ Edible Sacramento.

Happy eating!
