19 tables foods you give your dog: How bad are they really?(continued)

#7. Jerky: BAD

Repeated ingestion of "fatty, high-sodium, or high-sugar human foods" eventually "causes many pets to be reluctant to eat their well-balanced dog food diet".

#8. Hot Dogs: BAD

Hot dogs contain artificial ingredients, nitrates, chemicals, and preservatives, none of which can be adequately broken down or eliminated by a dog's digestive system.

#9. Rice: Good

Brown rice is better than white rice, since it retains all its native nutrients, including vegetable proteins.

#10. Carrots: Good

As a source of vitamin A and appropriate dietary fiber, carrots present no problems to a dogs occasional treat.

#11. Pickles: BAD

The corn syrup  offers nothing but empty calories, and onions can disturb the normal function of your dog's red blood cells, depriving them of oxygen.

#12. Popcorn: Not So Good

Air-popped and unseasoned, popcorn is OK for dogs, but not so much when you lather on the butter and salt.

Sweet Potato Strips

(or chunks if you aren't good at slicing). Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F. Slice the sweet potato into strips, chunks, whatever you want, and place on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, add a dash of cinnamon, then cook for 2 1/2 hours. These can be frozen for about four months so don't be afraid to make a big batch of them.

Cheese Bones

Ingredients:

2 cups wholewheat flour

1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup water

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients. Knead the dough on a floured surface. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness, and cut out shapes with a dog bone cookie cutter. Put the cookies on a baking sheet, 1/2 inch apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. When done, the cookies should be firm to the touch. Turn the oven off and leave the cookies in for 1 to 2 hours to harden.

I will give you 6 more after a little. I will just have these ones for right now.
