Say "NO" to unhealty snacks

Pet snacks fed to a 20# dog:

1 small cookie=1 hamburger or 1 2oz chocolate bar
1 oz of cheddar cheese=2 1/2 hamburgers or 1 1/2 2 oz chocolate bar
1 hot dog=3 hamburgers or 2 2oz sized chocolate bars

Low Cal Dog Snacks:

1/4 c of carrots=17 calories
1/4 of an apple=12 calories
1/4 c of green beans=9 calories

I hope this info helps.

I saw this at my vet's - it compares what a human equialent is to a 20# dog.
I wish more people realized this.
I saw that here in Aus too!

I remember once a vet telling me that if I gave my dog (large) a bigish marrow bone to chew that it was the equivalent of a whole meal and that I should skip the dogs meal that day. 8O
Thanks for the information.
Howie goes crazy for most fruit. I know grapes and raisins should be avoided.
Any other fruit or vegetables that are bad for dogs?

And green beans...do you give them raw or steamed? :oops:

Rudy's favourite treats are carrots and ice cubes.

Hudson's favourite treats are Big Macs and prime rib (not that we allow him of course).

Makes sense that Rudy IS a stringbean, and Hudson's built like a bulldog.

Sigh.
