In researching healthy snacks for your Westie I found that with a few exceptions, any food you consider healthy for yourself will probably be a good choice for your Westie.  Everyone loves to snack from time to time but snacks should be 10 percent or less of your dog’s daily diet. Sophie loves to eat:

Plain mini rice cakes

Plain yogurt

Low fat cottage cheese (small amounts)

Raw carrots

Apple slices

Bananas

Get Naked Digestive Health commercial treats (in the purple bag) They are low in calories and fat and also whiten her teeth and keeps her breath fresh.

Sophie also loves her Kong Classic Dog Toy. I put a Kong Ziggies Dog Treat inside of it and top it with some peanut butter flavored Kong Easy Treat. The Easy Treat looks like cheese whiz coming out of the can. I put it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes and she loves it!

I give Sophie a snack right before I leave for work in the morning. She also gets a snack in the evening if she has finished her dinner. Her favorite flavors are peanut butter, cheese and bacon.

I hope these snack ideas have been helpful. We all need a reward once in a while!
