Toast as a treat

[lilybellesmom]

Can anyone help me with this question?

I was wondering if I toast regular white or wheat bread is it okay to give it as a treat? I wouldn't put anything on there like butter. Just plain toast. With so many recalls out there I would like alternatives for treats. Thanks!:)

I don't see why it would be harmful - I give Teddy bits of plain toast(white or wheat what ever i'm eating at the time) and he gobbles it up. He also really likes bagels!! Wheat is in a lot dog foods as fillers (as we all know w/ all that's going on) I think in moderation, as a treat, it's okay b/c you know it is "human grade" and safe. After all, it's not so much a little wheat that is horrible for them, but all the contaminants in it. This probably isn't too helpful!

I don't know whether it is OK or not but I certainly understand looking for alternatives. I haven't bought any thing since all this started. It's so scary. If the toast is OK maybe you could put sugar free pnut butter on it. I have heard that's OK too. But we have to stay away from certain kinds of peanut butter too. It's crazy isn't it?

Thanks for your help:) It really is confusing considering what's going on out there. I appreciate you both taking the time out to read this and replying.

I was going to tell you to google it , but I got nothing when I did:D maybe you can get something..
I don't think it would cause harm, but who knows.

I have a recipe for a doggy meat loaf that calls for 2 slices whole wheat bread. So I would guess that the bread would be ok.

Miko and Emma loooove bread! Any kind :) It's a safe and tasty treat!

[lilybellesmom]

Thanks! You have all been very sweet in replying to my post. I will give them both toast as an occasional treat. I will try it out now and let everyone know how it goes. :hug: to everyone!:)

Ever since I read this thread I have been searching for where I read white doughy bread is not good for them.. But, do you think I can find it now :confused:

I do share my toast with Scrappy but he only gets the crusts not the doughy centre and I never give him bread that has poppyseed etc...... now, again, don't ask me where I read it as I just cannot find the info at the moment. It may have been on a site about IBS as a chronic sufferer I do remember reading that dogs also can suffer from this and bread ie yeast was one of the things to avoid and bread with poppyseed etc can irritate the bowel.

I guess it is better to err on the side of caution when feeding our dogs anything.

Princess Charlotte only likes toast if it's smothered in butter . She also likes a little peanut butter . I use the bite for me , bite for Charlotte theory - it keeps us both thin :D Sarah

Bread and pasta is actually recommended by vets for my liver compromised yorkie on days that he won't eat his food, and he's never had a problem...Also, bread crumbs are in many recipes for dogs. Now, I know there are some kinds of bread probably wouldn't be good to give, but as far as regular bread, no poppyseeds and stuff like that, I think it's okay.

Last night I gave them each half a piece of toast to see if it agreed with them and so far no problems. I gave them white bread toast plain. LB was so cute because she was just munching on it. Of course, Kira swallowed it whole:D

[Malteseluv]

LOL! Too cute :)

Well I can tell you one thing. Alex likes it better with butter. He will turn his nose on plain bread, but with a tiny bit of butter no problem. He even likes mayonnaise.
