We all love spoiling our pups with treats (puppy dog eyes – am I right?), but sometimes those extra nibbles can lead to a few too many pounds and slightly-rounder-than-the-vet-would-like fur babies.
Not to worry, though! I’ve got some tips and tricks to help your chubby Chow or fat Frenchie
slim down without missing out on the fun. Find out some low-fat dog treats here.
The Treat Trap: Canine Weight Management
Let’s face it, those big puppy eyes are hard to resist, but mass-produced treats are often
packed with calories, additives, and not-so-good ingredients that can contribute to weight
gain. It’s not just about the scale; excess weight can lead to health issues like diabetes, joint
problems, and decreased mobility.
But don’t fret; managing your furry friend’s weight can be a walk in the park with the right
approach, see out low-fat dog treat ideas.
Snack Smart with Low-Fat Treat Options
Here at Friends & Canines, we believe that every dog deserves treat time, no matter their
size or weight. That’s why we’ve whipped up some low-fat, high-flavour treat options that will
have your pooch drooling with delight, minus the extra calories.
Veggie Sticks: Nature’s Wonder-Treats
Who said veggies were just for humans? Our Veggie Sticks are a big hit with the canine
crowd. Made from dehydrated carrots, potatoes, and apples plus bundles of other healthy
fruit and veg, these treats are not only low in fat but are also packed with vitamins and fibre.
They’re the perfect snack for keeping those tails wagging and waistlines in check.
Braided Ostrich Tendon: The Muscle Munch
Protein is essential for a healthy canine diet, but it’s all about the right kind. Our Braided
Ostrich Tendons are made from 100% ostrich, providing plenty of lean protein goodness
without the fatty baggage.
They’re great for maintaining muscle mass while keeping the calorie count low.
Fruity Biscuits: Sweet Without The Sugar
For the sweet-toothed pups, our Fruity Biscuits are a real treat.
Made from a mix of mix of varieties with apple and elderberry slices, these treats are
naturally sweet and full of antioxidants. They’re the perfect way to spoil your pooch without
spoiling their diet.
A Little Goes a Long Way
Remember, moderation is key when it comes to treats, even the healthy kind. Combine our
low-fat treat options with regular exercise, and you’ll have a happy, healthy, and active pup.
Whether it’s a game of fetch, a brisk walk, or some agility training, keeping your dog moving
is just as important as what you feed them.
