Holistic Treats for Your Dog

I have two Chihuahuas one is 6 pounds, the other is overweight at 8 pounds. He looks like a loaf of bread. When it comes to treats I usually give him carrots and have tried numerous biscuits .The larger Chihuahua has luxating patellae (blown knees) so we try to support his bone conditoin as much as possible, partially by working on getting his weight down. He can't exercise a lot due to the knee problem so diet is very important. This biscuithas 25% crude protein, good for bones.Since the food reacalls I read the ingredients of dog foods and treats zealously. I came across Nutro Ultra Puppy Biscuits. What caught my eye was the fact that they are Holistic.

I basically give my dogs carrots for treats and now the Nutro Natural Puppy biscuits. The box suggests giving the dogs 3-4 biscuits a da y or as a compliment to their meals. I do not do this. I break a small fragment off the bisuit and give them to my dogs as treats when they obey a command. They don't care about what size a treat is they are just thrilled to be getting a reward for good behavior. There is no calorie amount indicated on the box so I'm holding back on the size and amount of the biscuit they get. I love that the picture in actual size is on the box, I think all dog foods and treats should let you know the size witha picture toavoid bringing home foods that don't work for you and your dog. This particular product offers a guarenteed return if you aren't 100% satisfied with it.

The biscuit has 3 animal proteins in it, chicken meal, salmon meal and lamb meal for good muscle development. It has Sunflower Oil for good skin and coat condition. The Flaxseed is another key to good coat and skin condition. The Brown Rice is an important easily digestible Carbohydrate. Cranberry Powder is included for vitamin C. Kelp gives them iodine. The Alfalfa is a natural source of Chlorophyll to help keep your dog's breath pleasant. Tomato Pumice supports your dog's immune system. So all in all this is a real healthy treat. All these ingredients are highly digestible and are geared to the well being of your pet.It's very impressive that there are so many very healthy ingredients.
