If you're looking for a good snack to offer your furry companion, it is better to try something different like carrots or celery that provides extra vitamins and low-calorie content. If your dog is crazy about spicy flavors, you can try a small amount of cayenne pepper or paprika, which are less spicy than poblano peppers.
