Its movie night, and you and Fido curl up to watch the latest DVD release. You have your soda and popcorn and notice Fido staring up at you with a sad where's-my-treat? look on his face. What should you do?
Give him a treat, too, just do it the proper way. Instead of hand feeding him on your moms new couch (and encouraging begging behavior), put a quick snack in his food bowl. Good, healthy snack items include: dog food morsels, dog biscuits (small, bean-sized pieces), cereal (unsweetened kinds ONLY Os flakes, puffs or waffle types), bread (bean-sized pieces), plain popped popcorn (no butter or salt), hot dogs (small slices) and raw carrots (thin slices).
Remember, snacking should be a special occasion for your dog (and you, as well!). Do it too often, and Fido might get flabby!
