One of the fastest growing problems in pet health is pet obesity. Obesity in dogs can lead to heart disease, osteoarthritis, and many other health concerns. Dogs have a knack for getting their owners to feed them treats for behaving, doing tricks, or just for being adorable. While treats are a great way to bond with your pet pal, they can also do harm if they don’t have anything nutritional in them.
Instead of giving your pup junk food treats that are loaded with fat and sugar, choose a healthier alternative instead. Many dogs enjoy eating various fruits, such as apples or watermelons. Some dogs even like crunchy vegetables like green beans, carrots, or celery. Plain rice, rice cakes, and crackers are also good substitutes for traditional biscuits.
If you’re looking for a store bought alternative, Only Natural Pet All Meat Bites are a great option. They are freeze-dried, grain-free, hormone-free meat treats from free range animals. Since the treats have nothing added to them and aren’t cooked before they’re freeze dried, they still have many of the nutrients and health benefits associated with raw meat.
Bully Sticks are another good option. Bully Sticks are 100% beef chew sticks made from the meat of free-ranging Brazilian cattle. They are USDA certified and inspected to ensure the safety of your pet.
Always check and make sure that what you’re giving your pup isn’t bad for him. Just because it’s not full of fat and sugar doesn’t mean that it won’t be bad for Fido. Also be sure to pair up your healthy treats with lots of outdoor exercise. Diet and exercise are very important for both humans and their canine companions. Eat right, go for a run or a walk, and get healthy!
