Wld just like to add that it seems the most common nuts fed to chins include almonds, hazelnuts, macademias and sunflower seeds (LoL umm, this might not be a nut.).

Pls do not feed your chins too many treats. I myself feel one treat a day is enough, and not even daily. I feed treats only twice a week, and one each time. Cos my chin had bloat before, which was caused by too much rich food. Luckily, he pulled thru, but the vet cautioned that I cannot feed treats too often. It's really best if their diet is "as boring as possible" I quote.

Plus, chins can get diabetic, and so far, I dunno any chin who will turn down a raisin or sweet treat. Their sugar needs are really very low, and fat requirements as well. So best is really "as boring as possible". LoL The vet set me to laughing then. But I've followed his advice ever since. No relapse and my chin is safe.

And very useful info from Angel99. The fat and sugar content are really helpful!
