Easy dog treats from your kitchen! Since chocolate is bad for dogs, here are healthy ways to indulge their sweet tooth. (Check out more people food for dogs here!)

Yogurt

Add fresh yogurt to your dog's meal or make a cool summer treat: cut eight thin banana slices into an ice cube tray reservoir each. Mix 1/4 cup yogurt with 1/4 cup water, spoon over banana. Freeze overnight for a great sweet treat (best served outside or on tile!). Yogurt is a great source of protein and calcium.

Beets

Add a little grated raw beets to your dog's food. Beets are a good source of folate, manganese, and potassium, and rich in flavonoids. Careful—these bright veggies are messy!

Blueberries

Perfect as an easy treat, these small berries are rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C.

Dehydrated Sweet Potatoes

Slice sweet potatoes about 1/2 inch thick, then dry in a dehydrator or oven (250F for 2-3 hours). Your dog will love this chewy sweet treat—a great source of Vitamins A and C, manganese, and fibre.

Watermelon
