The Good Side of Treats

There is nothing wrong with an occasional treat. They can be used to reward positive behavior, for training, enjoyment and fun.

 But Watch the Calories

Overindulgence of treats can create a pet who is overweight. Sometimes we don' t realize how all those treats add up every day. Be careful about the size of the treat as well as the ingredients. Some commercial treats are very high in calories and fat.

 Human Foods

Leftover, high fat, high calorie table food should be avoided. Not only does it contribute to weight gain, but  may cause pancreatitis or upset stomach and diarrhea. If you do feed human food-put it in their dog bowl to discourage begging.

 Keep Track

Keep track of what you give in an average day and make sure treats do not make up more than 10% of your pet's daily diet. Otherwise they are not getting the appropriate ratio of vitamins & minerals.
