I have a 10 year old yorkie male (5lbs) who is getting tired of eating his pescription food and treats. I would like to give him something beneficial and tasty but I am not sure how he would react to the ingredients like nuts. He really likes chinese fortune cookies and every once in a while we will reward him with a small taste.

Stay away from anything with chocolate, or raisins in it. Macadamia nuts can be an issue.

Unless a dog is sick, they will eat what they need. If your dog is on a prescription food there's a reason for it, stay on it.
Dave SFV thanks for picking up on prescription food, I missed that.

honestly he is NOT getting tired of his food and treats. Dogs really don't think "dammit i had this LAST night" they think "WOW! food!"
fr whatever reason he's on a perscription diet (and with yorkies most of the time it's either allergies or "yorkie tummy") you really need to stick with it. Trying out new snacks can cause other problems.
and remember he's getting a little older. He's not burning up as many calories as he once was, so he may not be as hungry. But i promise he is NOT tired of his food.
AND granola usually has raisins, which are toxic to dogs...avoid them all the time.

Not knowing what medical condition afflicts your dog or what prescription diet the dog is on makes your question unanswerable.

Have you considered a raw foods diet? Do some research, it may change your mind!
