Yes, you’re correct chocolate is bad for dogs. However, the pet bakery shops have a way of making their treats look like the real McCoy. I give these safe cookies to my dog … looks and smells like real chocolate chips … yet the chips are carob … this is from 3 Dog Bakery. When I go to the local pet shop and they have other types of dog cookies on display … they have frosting and candy sprinkles on them and they look like chocolate flavor cookies. But they claim its “safe” so I’m not sure what those cookies are REALLY made out of? When I was a kid I used to occasionally munch the corner off a Milk-Bone dog biscuit. Given that admission, tell us Geri, have you ever tasted doggie cookies? Would the proprietor at 3 Dog Bakery let you sample, say, a broken off piece? Maybe if you snarl at him he'd let you. :mdrmdr: You were brave! When I worked at Nabisco … this one guy was doing the stats on the sales of (Milk-Bone) and saw things weren’t adding up with the amount of dogs in the area vs. the amount of boxes being purchased. It was over the top extreme sales in certain retirement communities in Florida. Hence they were consuming the dog biscuits. :mdrmdr: Also they LOVED Fig Newtons too. :yes: Well I will confess … I used a knife and picked out 1 carob chip in his cookies … I was curious to what that tasted like since Yohanan said his mom would use those all the time and he didn’t like it but Tammi said yum to them. B-) But no … I haven’t gone any further in the taste test with these … I love to smell them though … seriously they smell like REAL homemade chocolate chip cookies. But I will confess … back in the 1970’s I accidentally ate a dog “people” cookie. Remember them? They had the mailman, milkman, paper boy? I didn’t read the box … just saw the cool picture (hey I was used to eating animal crackers … so why not people crackers) B-) I ate one and I must admit :bye: it was good. Normally I would go food shopping with her and sit in the carriage so not sure why this time I wasn’t with her. My mom was still bringing in the rest of the grocery bags and walking up the stairs when I said “mom, these are really good cookies you bought!” She looked puzzled and said “I didn’t buy any cookies” I said yes, they are little people cookies …she said “those are for the dog!” :mdrmdr: Hey Dan … Walmart sells the 3 Dog Bakery Brand chocolate chip cookies. B-) I “to buy and try”. :whistle: I am here to rain on your parade. 😉 Don't eat too much chocolate.
