My dog has a bit of a sensitive stomach. Instead of dog treats we give her lettuce & blueberries. Are these okay / healthy alternatives?

If Snowball seems to fair well with these as her alternative treats, these should be find to give her. The lettuce is pretty much negative calories as it requires more calories to break down and blueberries are high in antioxidants. Blueberries or lettuce are not toxic to dogs so you can continue to feed this. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
