Lamb based Rollover?

[BlindMag]

Does anyone know whether there is a Rollover type, show bait high value treat product that is lamb based? As dalmatians cannot have meat sources high in purines and many are allergic to poultry.

We *finally* got a new refrigerator and Diva demands something yummy go in it for dotties soon .

I suggest Zukes Mini Naturals.  It comes in Chicken, salmon, peanut butter, and new zealand rabbit.  What about the rabbit formula?  They dont make lamb in their mini naturals line but maybe in another of their treats, im not sure.  After trying about a dozen different treat brands I think this is the best.  They are all natural, very healthy, low-calorie, Charlie LOVES them, and they smell terrible!!

My only down-side with these is you need to keep them in an air-tight container because they get dried out quickly.

Here is the link to their website:  http://www.zukes.com/woof/mini-naturals.html

I found one even better!!

Zukes makes a "jerky" lamb treat that is also very low in calorie.  It looks like you could easily cut them up into smaller pieces like the pill/rollover style.  If you try this kind let me know what you think, here is the link to them very cheap on amazon:

Both Natural Balance and Redbarn make a lamb based semi-moist treat log.  I use it in puppy class and we call it "puppy crack" because the dogs go bonkers over it.  I will warn you it has added sugar in it (hence probably why they like it so much!!  haha) and will pack the pounds on a dog if fed too much.

Thanks, I will check these out!

Also thanks for the calorie reminder K1. I subtract treat amounts from their daily meals amount and will watch that.

In my experience, all roll-type dog food has a fairly high percentage of organ meat in it.  Regardless of the type of meat, organ meat is higher in purines than muscle meat.  Most roll-type dog food also has brewer's yeast, which is extremely high-purine.  That being said, I will use Pet Botanics lamb and rice dog food rolls, albeit sparingly.

I generally make my own treats most of the time so that I can avoid feeding organ meat.  My guys especially like fish and peanut butter treats, but they also enjoy cooked, diced muscle meat, generally beef or chicken.  I've never had a problem with feeding poultry to my Dals (in fact, for a long while chicken was the main meat source in their diets), and neither of my dog's breeders have mentioned any sensitivity to poultry in their lines.

Yeah thats why I like these Zukes mini naturals treats, only 3 calories per treat unlike my previous treats, which were 30 calories and were advertised as the low-calorie kind!!  wow

Lindsay, thanks for the purines and yeast reminder! I will try the brand you suggested, sparingly. Only my black-spot male dal, Pixel, has sensitivity to chicken. Girls do fine with it.
