My dog is overweight and I don't want to take his treats away from him entirely. Can anyone suggest some good treats for a doggie on a diet?

If your dog is on a diet, you can still give him all-natural treats. You can also give him Low-fat treats, naturally nutritious, all-vegetable or grain-based healthy treats to keep him happy.

There are treats that are better to buy smaller dogs. I have a Boston terrier and also bought him small dog-specific treats. I will send you a few links; however you can also go to a local pet store and they will help you out.

That is such a great idea! I took the time to find you a few video tutorials on youtube about making your own dog treats - hope this helps.

Doggy treats should not consist of more than 10% of your dogs diet.

In general,dogs do not need fiber in their diet because they don't use energy from it.However, it does provide dogs with health benefits such as weight management.For more information on fiber in dogs food, check out this website: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?dept_id=0&siteid=12&acatid=284&aid=460
