Guaranteed Analysis

How to Use  

Directions for Use   

• Follow the 10% Rule: Treats should not exceed ten percent of your dog's daily caloric intake, as recommended on the product label.
• Count treats into the daily plan: At 19 kcal per treat, include each treat given when tracking your dog's total daily fat and calorie intake.
• Confirm with your veterinarian: Always confirm treat selections with your vet to ensure they fit within your dog's specific fat and calorie targets.

Additional Information

Precautions  

• Intermittent feeding only: These treats are for intermittent or supplemental use and are not a complete daily food for any life stage or breed size.
• Vet confirmation needed: Dogs on medically managed fat-restricted diets should have all treat choices reviewed and confirmed with their veterinarian before feeding begins.
• Water must be available: Fresh, clean water should always be available at all times, particularly for dogs on fat-restricted or specialized veterinary diets.

Storage Information

• Seal after each use: Roll or clip the pouch shut after every session. Leaving it open lets air in and the soft texture dries out faster than you'd expect.
• Cool and dry location: Keep it somewhere cool and out of direct sun. Heat gets to soft-baked treats faster than it does to hard biscuits.
• Do not refrigerate: The fridge isn't needed and actually makes things worse, the temperature change causes condensation inside the pouch, which affects the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can dogs on reduced-fat diets have treats?

Ans: Yes, but they need to be low in fat and counted against whatever daily plan your vet has put in place. These treats have a guaranteed fat ceiling and come in at around 19 calories each. Keep treats to no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories, and check with your vet before making them a regular part of the routine.

Q2: Are these treats suitable for dogs with pancreatitis?

Ans: Many veterinarians recommend low-fat diets for dogs with pancreatitis as part of nutritional management. These treats are formulated for dogs on reduced-fat diets as directed by a veterinarian. Always confirm with your vet that these treats fit within your dog's specific fat targets before feeding.

Q3: How many calories are in each treat?

Ans: Each soft-baked treat contains approximately 19 calories. The calorie content is stated on the product label as 3,200 kcal ME/kg. This makes it straightforward to calculate each treat's contribution to your dog's daily calorie and fat budget under your veterinarian's guidance.

Q4: Are these treats chicken-free?

Ans: Yes. The primary protein is wild-caught Ocean Whitefish. No chicken, chicken meal, or chicken fat is used anywhere in the recipe. This makes these treats a practical low-fat option for dogs with chicken sensitivities who also require a reduced-fat diet.

Q5: Are these treats soft enough for sensitive or senior dogs?

Ans: Yes. The soft-baked texture is designed to be gentle on the digestive system. It is well-suited for dogs with dental sensitivity, digestive sensitivity, recovering dogs, seniors, and small breeds that prefer or require softer food textures throughout their diet.

Q6: Do these treats need a prescription?

Ans: No. These treats are available over the counter without a veterinary prescription. Even so, dogs on medically managed reduced-fat diets should have all treat selections reviewed with their veterinarian to confirm they fit the specific dietary plan.
