Giving Your Dog Treats

Best Friend is definitely very fond of food! Snacks are fine: they are wonderful training aids, and are also good for bonding. Plus, they just brighten your dog’s day up. Just don’t go overboard. 

As a rule of thumb, snacks should only comprise about 5 to 10 percent of your pet’s daily caloric intake. You’ll also want to stick with safe options. Store-bought brands are okay, but it’s best to stick with healthy ones. Your pooch can also have plain, cooked meat, fish, or chicken, without the skin, bones, or fat. Small amounts of things like cheese and egg are fine. Stick with safe foods, though: if you aren’t sure what is and isn’t suitable, ask your vet.

Remember to bring your canine companion to your animal hospital near me Hendersonville, NC regularly for exams and wellness care.
