We all love to give our dogs treats, as much as they like to receive them. Dogs respond more to the act of receiving a treat than the actual size of the treat. We recommend that you buy the smallest size treat available, and when possible, break these into smaller pieces. Remember every treat that passes your pet’s lips has calories and can make weight loss more difficult.
Another option is to use pieces of fruit or vegetables as low calorie treats. Bagged baby carrots, available at most supermarkets, are often popular treats with dogs. Most fruits and vegetables are ok unless you notice they upset your dog’s stomach. Please do not feed grapes, they can be toxic for some dogs.
