| Newman's Own Organics Dog Treats | Pets suffer from allergies too, so these organic treats contain no wheat, corn, or soy. | Either chicken, cheese, vegetable, or peanut butter flavors, all with added flax, sunflower, and sesame seeds | Begbie sucked it up so quickly he may have skipped the chewing part. |
| Blue Dog Bakery's Doggie Paws Small Dog Treats | If your pug's plump, try these low-fat, quarter-size treats. | Whole-wheat flour, natural peanut butter flavor, oats, egg powder | Begbie begged for another, which doesn't help his weight problem. |
| Old Mother Hubbard's Wellness Wellbars Dog Treat | A vegetarian option if your Rover doesn't eat meat. | Barley, brown rice, yogurt, apples, and bananas, plus flaxseeds for a healthy coat | Begbie gobbled up the treat and sat in front of the pantry door, hoping for seconds. |

| Kitty Kaviar | Contains ample protein, important for carnivores; and taurine, an amino acid needed for tissue repair. | 100 percent dried bonito fish fillet | Emma's favorite. She became so excited, she accidentally inhaled some. |
| Zuke's Hip Action Natural Cat Treats | 50 mg of glucosamine and 35 mg of chondroitin sulfate per serving aid arthritic cats. | Chicken, barley and rice flours, fish oil, brewer's yeast | Kept Emma purring and seemed to ease her stiffness. |
| Castor & Pollux Organix Organic Cat Treats | Organic, wheat- and corn-free, no added sugar; plus a percentage of sales support the Pet and Soul Foundation. | Organic turkey, brown rice, oats, peas, and flaxseeds | These weren't an instant favorite, but Emma ate them nonetheless. |
