    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

    Thank you everybody so much! I appreciate all the info. I had some vanilla Breyer's all natural and gave my guy a taste of that... boy does he seem to think that's a great treat! Obviously, though I don't want that to be the only thing I do. I'm going to follow up with our vet on getting a draw for the full thyroid panel at hemopet once next pay check comes through. You were right he was only checked for T4. Thank again basenji forums! I was looking back at pics from when he was younger and weighed more. I think he's always been a bit taller than standard and had a little barrel chest. Used to call him a basenji bouncer at the dog park. He was all about playing with the labs, pits and other big dogs - probably because he knew he could outrun them if they ever got too rough. He's much more about slow walks with me and lap snuggles these days ❤

    I know this topic is old, but I give my B freeze dried salmon bites as treats. I usually find them in the cat section

    @Rivermoon: Basilboy, I feed my girls Halshan raw which is raw meat and veggies. I doubt they have it up there but you may be able to find something comparable. I cook for my vizsla, he gets chicken and veggies…yam, carrots, kale, spinach, zucchini, whatever I decide to throw in there. They also get kibble. Thank you! I'll look for that or something like it.

    @JazzysMom: Is that necessary? Mine eat sizable chunks and there is no evidence it's not digested well. Like Quercus, mine raid the garden when they can. I have a fence around it, but snow peas and green beans hang out through the fence, LOL. and the blueberry bushes behind my house are never safe {I know that's fruit, but …. :p} So is a tomato:) I cook 1/2 bag of frozen broccoli, drain, and put 1 slice of american cheese to melt over the top. My dogs think it's the best treat ever. I only give each one 1/2 cup each at each feeding. 1/2 of a baked potato with broccoli mixed in is also another favorite at our house.
