For treats, I always use some kibble form of good food. Currently I am using FROMM as the "treat" and I feed the dogs raw meat (Nature's Variety) with rehydrated (Preference) veggies. I feel better knowing that the food I am giving them is nutritionally balanced and they think of the kibble as a treat and look forward to the one or two little bits. Also a good training size. This way I avoid all the "treats" that I have found often contain things that create problems, both digestive and/or skin related.
I see it as sort of the same as giving carrots or some nuts to the children as a treat rather than candy, and I don't have to deal with peer group pressure or TV commercials that entice them.
