Treat Envy







In today's Washington Post an article posited that "Dogs Feel Envy -- or at Least Grasp Inequity When It Comes to Treats." The study found that dogs that watched another dog get a reward for following a command would start to hesitate, get upset and act frustrated if they were not rewarded for the same behavior. But you knew that, right?!

Come into GreenPets to stock up on treats that are healthy for your pet and adds to their well-being and good nutrition. It is so tempting to give your dog just a little extra from the table over the holidays. resist the urge to give them food that can cause problems, keep the treat jar filled with a variety of yummy snacks you can feel good about sharing.

We recently adopted a 13-week-old shelter puppy (beagle mix, we think) who is starting to get very into chewing. We haven't found anything yet to sustain his interest for longer than a few minutes. He has shown minimal interest in puppy Kong and a plush squeaky monkey, but nothing has really gotten him going. A friend suggested pig's ears. Are these safe? What else might you recommend?
