You love your dog like he’s your child. He sleeps on your zillion-thread-count sheets with you. He’s better dressed than you. His nails (paws, okay) are better kept than yours.

But somehow, he won’t indulge you with a wheatgrass shot a deux? Hmph. Stubborn critter.

Take Fido straight to Dancing Paws, a Los Angeles company that makes human-quality confections and vitamins for the four-legged set. FDA-approved, the treats are chock-full of essential vitamins, minerals, and botanical nutrients. In-the-know pets are partial to the Howlin’ Gourmet’s chicken pot pie (made with vegetarian stock, kelp, and organic flaxseed) and Meowin’ Gourmet’s 100 percent Canadian salmon treats. Don’t worry, mommy, there are no chemicals, preservatives, artificial flavors or colors, and it’s all salt- and wheat-free. The pot pie even won an “Award of Excellence” from the American Tasting Institute.

Do we smell a new diet fad? Yep. Just don’t get too carried away — or else Fido might expect to share the Dream Bars.
