I'm trying to avoid rice and barley too, but I'll check out the EVO treats when I'm next at the store. THANKS!
I give my sensitive tummy dog water-packed sardines as a snack/treat. They stink to high heaven, but she LOVES them and they give her a protein boost. I used to feed them to her outside in the backyard, but cats, that I'd never even seen before, would appear out of nowhere! We serve them inside now, very quickly.
Natural Balance do a nice biscuit type treat - it's venison and sweet potato and nothing else. It's very reasonably priced. It'll have LID on it = Limited Ingredients Diet. My "I am allergic to everything under the sun" dog gets those.
Duck breast jerky is a good 'un too - just look where it comes. The "Dogswell" jerky range is good (cage free) - they even do dried lung...
Deer antlers for good healthy chewing/gnawing pleasure - 100% natural and digestible.
Shadow has a bunch of food allergies and I order her Ocean Chews (http://www.petextras.com/oceanchews.html - broken link) and Ostrich Tendons Medium (http://www.petextras.com/osteec.html - broken link) and Achille's Tendons (http://www.petextras.com/acten.html - broken link) and Venison Lung (http://www.petextras.com/venisonlung.html - broken link) and Venison Jerkees (http://www.petextras.com/venisonjerkees.html - broken link) and US Antlers - Deer (http://www.petextras.com/pogosusantlers.html - broken link)
I love this little mom & pop company because you can order 1 of something to see if you dog will eat it, they always send freebies with your order, and if you spend $49 you get free shipping.

blue4two -- Terrific! I think Artie's getting enough protein in his Wellness food, but that's a great idea! Thanks! And how funny about the visiting cats!?! LOL!
FiveHorses -- How many times can I thank you in one day, huh? You're a wealth of fabulous information on every single thread! THANKS!
Racelady88 -- They all sound gross to me, but I'm sure Artie would love them! Thanks so much for the links -- I'll definitely check them out.

Hi Leorah,
Thanks! I'll definitely be picking up some of those then. I'm thinking that Artie is grain intolerant and/or allergic to something. What do you feed your dogs at mealtime? (Forgive me if I already asked you that on another thread where I was panicking about Artie's food. It's been such a blur of helpful people.)

I have two dogs that have food issues. One, a 7 year old epileptic Poodle, gets horrible ear infections and more frequent seizures when he eats a food containing grain. The other is an almost 17 year old who licks, bites, scratches, sniffs and sneezes if he eats a food with wheat or soy. I've tried a number of foods and my dogs do best on Merrick B.G. Wellness was good, too, but they prefer the Merrick.
The Lamb Squares smell terrible, and I think that's why the dogs love them! I used to feed freeze dried tripe for treats, which smells even worse.
I've been following the saga of Artie's poops, so I hope you find a long-term solution for his and your sake! (one of my dogs is named Cooper and my husband used to call me the super-duper-Cooper-pooper scooper, for obvious reasons....)
My dogs love Zuke's Beef or Chicken Filet's (grain free) and Yummy Chummies are excellent too. The lamb lung is a hit also, but causes way too much gas....LOL Since winter put a lb. or two extra on my oldest Boston, we're now using frozen green beans, peas, and fresh fruits like apple. pears and melons as soon as they come into season.
question: if the treat says "no wheat" and "no corn", does it mean it's grain-free?
my golden eats any treats that come his way.. I don't even know if he has any "favorites".. but we're also giving him more fruits such as apples and tangerines whenever they're in season..
