It depends on whether or not he is overweight. If he is overweight, I would stick with the occasional treat so once or twice a day. Another option would be to just give him canned green beans for treats. If he is a normal weight, you may be able to give him a little more. Just be aware of how much you are giving because treats are like small snickers bars for dogs and have a high caloric value per treat. I hope this helps!
