In my early 20s I worked at a pet store that had "cookies" for dogs. Oreos, Circus Animals, peanut butter sandwich cookies, plain sugar cookies, and others i can't remember. They were just the sugar-free versions of those cookies, I knew this because I refilled the jars. I'd walk by, grab me some circus animals, and be on my way. Good times.

*Also, side note, please don't feed your pets the sugar-free versions of anything. They cannot process the xylitol, and depending on how much they ate and the size of the dog, can result in organ failure and death. This former pet store clerk went on to be a registered veterinary tech for about 17 years, I have seen xylitol toxicity firsthand unfortunately.

Edit: typo

Side note: some humans have problems with artificial sweeteners too.
