Purina Veterinarian, Dr. RuthAnn Lobos advises against feeding dogs from the table. "As tempting as it is to feed our pets scraps in the kitchen or under the table, getting into this habit could confuse feeding times and what pets can or can't eat. There can also be hidden dangers: for example, bones can present a choking hazard, some ingredients for human meals like onion, garlic and raisins are poisonous for dogs, and rich foods like gravy, turkey skin, and more can be harmful to pets."
Beggin' Stuffers with Bacon 'n Turkey are soft treats made with real bacon and real turkey. A turkey-and-stuffing twist updates the classic savory bacon flavor.
Beggin' Homestyle Honey 'n Ham Flavor treats pair a ham flavor with a soft, easy-to-chew bite. The recipe is made with real bacon and a touch of real honey.
Real meat is the number one ingredient in both treats. Neither contains artificial flavors or FD&C colors.
Beggin' has also teamed up with Busy on a candy-cane-shaped treat.
Busy with Beggin' Twist'd combines both brands in one chew. Savory, meaty Beggin' flavor twists through the long-lasting Busy chew. Made with real bacon goes into the marrow. The treat has no rawhide, is easily digestible, and contains no artificial flavors.
"A long-lasting treat can help keep dogs occupied and out of the kitchen while you cook," said Dr. Lobos.
