what healthy canine treats are similar to pupperoni?

Zukes mini naturals are great. They are made with real meat and my super picky Chihuahua loves them. They are very small too so frequent feeding isn't a problem. It's not healthy at all to feed a whole pack at a time. My dogs personally live the chicken formula and the peanut butter formula. I've never met a dog or cat for that matter that doesn't like these treats. Purebites are another great treat. They have meats but my dogs love the cheese kind. It's just a freeze dried ingredient in a bag.

From what I have seen, beagles are a pretty sturdy breed. The majority of non-obese ones that I have known have lived into their 20's (if they haven't "disappeared" while hunting) And very few of those that lived that long needed any major veterinary care. The most my current beagle has cost me was a couple hundred when he was attacked by coyotes. And that's not genetic. As for unhealthy, I do not feel that I have done enough research, nor enough experience to accurately say. 5 Breeds that are over bred: 1. Labrador Retrievers 2. Golden Retrievers 3. Chihuahuas 4. German Shepherds 5. Bulldogs Breed I wouldn't own: Shih Tzu, or any similar breeds. Nothing about the breed works for me, I am not a big fan of the personality, they are too small, and the coat is not something I am willing to keep up with. Do I look at Body shape & Health: Yes to an extent. When I get a dog, I have a specific "type" of companion in mind. I want a dog that has the capability to go on long hikes, bike rides, and swim with me. And I also want one that can excel in sports such as agility. Some dog's body shapes just don't have the capabilities for that. Also, I would not own a curly coated dog. It's just too much maintenance for me. I prefer to brush a dog daily and be over with it, not trips to the groomer and whatnot. Preferences in shape: - Thin/Slender build - 45-80lbs - Non curly/wiry coat - Fluffy/Double coated preferred but not a must - Pointed/Half pricked ears - Average skull, (not extremely thin/pointed or wide) Rarest Breed: Pretty impossible to determine. I'd go with the Catalburun (Turkish Pointing dog). The one with the double nose.

I feed my pom slim jims and beef jerky while not terribly healthy and they have TONS of salt they are a good once in awhile treat. Pupperoni is so disgusting! Merrick has some treat rolls that you may want to try. Avoid the dick van patten rolls though surprisingly they are filled with sugar and wheat and all sorts of nastiness. Your best bet is to go to a specialty pet food store (Pet Supplies Plus actually has a good selection) and just try out a few things. I can relate my little one is extremely picky and I have wasted a good amount of money on treats that she will glare at me like I'm trying to poison her by offering it to her! Good luck!

Make your own. there are many recipes that can be found on the web for dog treats. As for the poodle being picky... treat her like any finicky child... offer the treat. She spits it out... take it away. she gets nothing. Feed her on a schedule. Soon, she will accept the new treats, or get nothing. she will learn... there is no such thing as an old dog that can't learn a new way.

just change it

if she doesn't get the old, she will eat the new

they have many meaty treats, don't know if any are healthy

go to the treat aisle and read

Hot dogs, cheese, and left over meat from meals
