Great question! Dogs treats from the pet store is fine, but I do not recommend giving Linda bones or rawhides. My dogs love pig ears, and that would be fine as a treat sometimes. NEVER give her cooked bones, they splinter easily and can perforate the GI tract. Some human food is ok as an occasional treat, and I will put a link below on human foods dogs can and cannot eat. Best of luck, I hope this helps! http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/
