Since this is our nutrition and wellness special, we’re all about our pets’ diets. Did you know your treats can play a part in your pet’s nutritional wellbeing in addition to its main meals? Here are a few PETS tips to keep your treats in check:
- If you have several training sessions throughout the day, make sure you reduce your pet’s meal intake at night based upon how many treats you gave during the session. You don’t want to risk adding too much to your pet’s waistline.
- Choose a treat that doesn’t have artificial flavours or colours. Treats high in preservatives are not good for your pet. We like products such as love’em’s beef liver treats. These delicious snacks contain just what the name suggests — real beef liver, resulting in a dog treat that is good for your four-legged friend. For more information, visit love-em.com.au
- Check the fat content. Some treats can be very high in fat and could end up doing your pet some serious damage.
If you want more information on what treats are best for your pet, consult your local veterinarian.
