For inexpensive and definitely more healthy dog treats, try feeding your dog broccoli and carrot slices. My dog absolutely loves them! He thinks that he is a real good dog when he gets these. He also enjoys bananas, apple slices, and peach slices. They're a lot better than store bought treats.

What natural treats do dogs love? veggies, etc.?

Dogs/puppies like just about all foods. However, some foods can be toxic to pets, including grapes, raisins, tea, alcohol, garlic, onions, avocados, salt, and chocolate. Call the Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or your veterinarian right away if you think your pup has eaten something dangerous.
My vet told me to steam carrots (you can use a little butter and a sprinkle of Cinnamon if they are picky). It is good for overweight dogs as it is high in fiber and they feel full longer.
My dogs like chopped fruit. I chop apples, bananas, watermelon and pears up into very fine pieces. I peel the skin off & remove all pits (so they won't choke).
