"Everyday dog treats?
It sure makes his tail wag!!!"
Everyday dog treats... we sure love to see those happy eyes and those tails wagging as we go through our daily ritual of getting those special biscuits for our special pal. Our Sammy gets so excited at the thought of treats that his tail swings in a circle like a helicopter.
We call it his "circle wag."
Giving treats to our beloved family members is not only enjoyable for them, but WE also get much pleasure from seeing them happy. Treats everyday?
SURE!!!
But dog obesity is on the rise. It is obvious that we love treating our pets. Feeding them not only makes them happy, but it makes us happy too! But it is more important to provide a complete and balanced diet that is supplimented with treats than to provide unlimited treats. Every treat we give has calories in them. Our dogs only need so many calories to maintain a healthy weight.
Unhealthy weight = Numerous health problems!!!
The challenge with dog snacks, however is the complete lack of nutritional information on packages to help you know how many treats, how often. We hope to outline for you the following information:
* Feeding recommendations for dog treats
* Caloric needs for your dog
* Nutritional and ingredient information for "everyday dog treats"
* Gourmet dog treats - about labels.
* Calorie free treat alternatives
