| Peanut butter definitely is a good one and meat for sure. You could even look up feeding a strictly raw diet For training I used chopped up hot dogs or cubes of cheese |

| I like Smuckers Natural for mine, but my opinion is the natural ones. The dog bakery uses that brand also

| I like giving mine deli meat (roast beef), string cheese (favorite), & white meat turkey hotdogs. I'm pretty picky about what I give them and those are pretty much the normal things I give mine. I tried stuffing kongs w/yogurt and pumpkin, but they weren't that interested in it at the time. I may try it again here soon |

| Others have posted great suggestions!
Some pups like carrots. I've tried giving Juneau carrots but she's not too fond of them! Applesauce is good too (if you want to stuff it in the kong or something). Also if you cook raw chicken, you could toss her some raw chicken (boneless breast/thigh is what I use).
Whatever you do, don't feed her grapes! They're toxic to our babies. |

| String cheese, hot dogs, I do cooked and dried chicken breast, liver, anything like that makes my pups happy. I'd be cautious with peanut butter I found out the hard way one of mine is allergic to peanuts! |

| I use string cheese mostly for training and pottying.
I put peanut butter in her kong as well as yogurt, pumpkin, applesauce, and blueberries. I would just be careful in general just like with a baby introduce things solely to see if they have an allergy. |

| Definitely stick with plain, the other ones have too much sugar/additives. Plain Greek yogurt is excellent too. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

| I'd watch the salt content in deli meats.
I cut beef steak strips into small 1cm cubes and freeze them, then use them as high reward treats.

| Hi all, Here is some info I pulled together of the internet so I know what I can and cant feed my husky, mind you she is is alot older ( Kira is between 1 and 2 years of age) again everything must be in moderation. If people have any comments on this list please also let me know. I am no dog nutritionist or anything but have always wanted to ensure my dog gets good healthy foods to keep her strong. Not saying that all huskies would like the below.
I have put down fruits and veg and next to each the good health effects. I try and include a mix of the below in her diet. for goodness and variety. And ofcourse meats like chicken, fish, red meat, mince, turkey. (cooked) I prefer to stay away from off the shelf commercially prepared dog foods in supermarkets because you dont know what goes into some of the canned foods these days unless its of high quality Like Earthborn - ( Note I give Kira also Coastal Catch dry also sometimes ) She has no health problems so far.
Fruits and Vegetables ok for dogs apple flesh only - ( remove pips cyanide note pips can cause intestinal blockage/ excellent source of vitamin C Pectin gets rid of toxins in digestive tract
plums - (remove pip-cyanide) note pips can cause intestinal blockage water melon flesh only - proper functioning of a dogs digestive system/powerful antioxidants Really Good for Dogs cantelope flesh only - good for eye sight excellent source of vitamin A/ Also very good for dogs pear in small quantities - helps muscle contraction and nervous system/maintains heart strength, reduce cholesterol/work against 02 damage strawberry (only on or two a day max) - good antioxidants blueberries - good antioxidants rasberries - good antioxidants Kiwi flesh ( very small amounts ) promotes good respiratory health/Vitamin C banana ( small quantity only flesh) - good source of potassium that benefits the development of the muscular system carrots - Rich in vitamin A & C - good for optical development Parsley a tablespoon no more (helps reduce arthritus and inflammation/helps urinary tract infections/arthritus small amount of Brocolli - contains cancer preventative compounds green beans - prevents oxygen damage and improve blood fat levels, helps maintain bone health. cucumber slices - Rich in vitamin A & C zuchini slices Rich in vitamin A & C chopped parsley Rich in vitamin A & C celery Rich in vitamin A & C and iron - also has tumor fighting agents spinach very good iron antioxidants wards off inflamatory and cardiovascular problems as well as cancer bell peppers Rich in vitamin A & C pumpkin good to prevent constipation and/pr diarohea /fibre/anti inflammatory/regulates blood sugar levels/cardiovasc health squash Vitamin like pumpkin cooked sweet potato cooked lentils orange only flesh strengthens immune system/protects against cancer/protects connective tissue/keep away viral infections Peas lettuce pineapple only flesh Grapefruit flesh small quantity helps fight viral infections Cauliflower Salmon lean chicken turkey lean beef no fat fat clogs arteries. boiled/cooked egg only source of protein riboflavin oatmeal cottage cheese Yoghurt fridge - only plain Frozen yoghurt - a couple of teaspoons ok as treat good acidophalus Alfa Alfa acts as an anti-inflammatory Chamomile tea helps insomnia, reduce gas and vomiting

| Also note, that veggies are not fully digested by dogs in their raw state For the best absorption steam or boil and puree veggies. This will make them easily digestible. |
