[NAGDU] What’s a Baggalani? Was Re: Treats and dressing well

Hey Danielle,
Thanks so much for info about the Zukes crunchy treats. Because of the way we are treating Soleil's thyroid disease, she has a seriously hard time keeping weight on-- not the problem for most labs! She eats about 2-2.5 lbs of meat daily-- for a fifty pound dog, but i'm always looking for higher cal treats to give her during training, or just as an easy, portable way to get calories into her not at meal time.  This isespecially true for things like conferences where she might be in harness for 18 hours a day but because of her diet, obviously she can't really eat on the go-- people don't like it when you slap down chunks of raw animals in public, lol. 
The ten calorie treats sound just what we need!

I will however use crunchy training treats if I'm just putting a few in a pocket to avoid the smell and crumbs. Most crunchy treats have a much less distinctive smell as compared with kibble or moist training treats. they also hold about the same value as kibble for dogs that notice such things AKA not most Labs. I usually use Fruitables crunchy treats, which are about 8 calories and seriously smell like freshly baked muffins. Alternatively, I use Zukes crunchy naturals which come in 2, 5, and 10 calories options with practically no smell. Neither leave any crumbs.
