there is no reason to give your dog anything other than good dog treats (nutro is good. 3dog bakery if you wanna go nuts), carrots (they're like candy to a dog, and they're very good for him) his food, and the occasional large rawhide chew. Pig ears are to a dog what a deep fried twinkie is to us. Nothing but fat. Bones are universally a bad idea. Your dog doesn't need that much variety. Dogs are not people. They do better on a steady consistant diet, both from a gastrointestinal standpoint and from a consistancy standpoint - Dogs like routines. They tend to get nervous if routines get broken, even if it involves food.
I'm getting confused about all the threads you're posting regarding dogs. In the bones thread you started you seemed to have come to the understanding that chicken bones are a bad idea, yet in here you say you still feed the bones to your dog. You seem to be a very novice dog owner. Nothing wrong with that, but a good dog book would not be a bad idea at this point. There's a LOT to know about caring for a dog, and just tossing things at the dog because you think the dog might like it, is not a good idea, and in fact could be dangerous to the dog.
