Occasional treats of plain, unseasoned, boiled chicken is probably ok. However, it is best only to use in special circumstances, like during training sessions. If you feed it rountinely she may not want to eat her regular dog food. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

    In moderation, yes it is ok to give Paisley this every once in a while. Just try not to over-do it or she may start to beg for these more and more, and potentially lead to her refusing her normal dog kibble over time.
