How many treats per week is too many?
Sometimes we give our dog Abby a pig ear every night. She is 75 lbs (she is at an appropriate weight, not overweight, not to thin) and gets adequate exercise daily. Is a pigear/ small bully stick every day too much? To be honest it normally it isn't every day but is still 4 days a week on average. Is that bad? During lunch when I got home to let her out of her crate for a midday break I sometimes put a little PB in her kong... I guess if she isnt overweight its not a big deal, or is it?
