What human treats are safe for dogs?

Plain boiled chicken breast with no added seasoning or oils is a great healthy snack. It helps build muscle, is gentle on the stomach and the omega-6 fatty acids it contains help to keep their skin and coat healthy too. You could also try giving your dog salmon as this is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but it’s much higher in fat and ideally should be given occasionally and in small amounts. Peanut butter is a great source of protein, but you have to be careful which type you use, always avoid feeding them peanut butter that is high in salt and sugar and should not contain artificial sweeteners. Pumpkin and squash are packed full of fibre and vitamins that help keep your dog regular whilst also giving them a healthy-looking coat. Apple slices are a tasty crunchy treat for your dog, they're full of fibre and nutrients and may even help to freshen your dog’s breath, however, apples are higher in sugar, so should be fed in moderation. There are several vegetables that you can give to your dog either cooked or raw, including: Carrots, Broccoli, Green beans. Remember any fruits or vegetables should be cut into very small pieces, especially if your dog tends to swallow food whole rather than chew it. If your dog is on a prescription diet, or a special low-fat diet, then giving them a small amount of their normal dry food can be a great way to give them a treat without risking their health.
