Not sure about the garlic.

Personally I wouldnt recommend that brand. I know that there have been health issues from that particular manufacturer in the past where dogs got very sick on their food if I remember correctly. Also I believe garlic is on the list of foods hams shouldn't have, and tbh dogs shouldn't have it either.

That looks horrible.. too many addictives.
I stick with the good ole bonio & markie treats

Ok will not get those ones. Which brand would be better? I also have a very limited choice here.

Avoid ones with garlic.

Usually I'd stick with kitten pellets instead because theyre more reliable, according to sources online. But it all comes down to the ingredients in the end.

Any suggestions on a good brand?

Ok, just keep in mind that I suggest this only on the basis that I fed this to my dog, and for a dog these were pretty good...for ham's I have no idea but...Wellness well bars might be a good choice? They have very little fillers ect. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Dog Biscuit?

After reading Souffle's post in the above thread, I got biscrok biscuits:

Pedigree Biscrok 500g | Dog Biscuits | | Treats from Wilkinson Plus

They last AGES; I usually give Popcorn 1 every fortnight, and he chews through most of it; chicken flavour is his fave
