  Q. My husband has taken to eating dog treats. I warned him against doing it but he loves them and insists there is no danger in eating them, What do you think?

  A. As long as you do not see any drastic changes to his behavior he should be OK.  However, if he starts barking at cars and chasing them I would take him to a veterinarian right away. Leave the window open so he can stick out his head and pant.
