The best treats and snacks for your pets

When it comes to spoiling your furry loved ones to some treats in between meals, or simply rewarding them for being good, it is very important that you choose something that is just as healthy as it is yummy.

More often than not, we tend to see articles online or on T.V. warning us about treats with very high fat content, or raw hide bones, which cause digestive irritation. These can even contain traces of salmonella, E.coli or toxic chemicals. For this reason, I am very careful in what I feed my fur babies.

Cookie was diagnosed with pancreatitis in April 2015, and was admitted into the animal hospital for a few days. She was not allowed to consume any solid food throughout her stay, and was being sustained by an I.V. fluid. It was a very nerve wracking time, and for that reason she has a very specific diet the vet prescribed to her.

Sugar and Cookie both alternate from Purina’s Pro Plan Veterinary Diets; EN Gastroenteric canine formula, and Hill’s Prescription Diet, Digestive Care in the chicken & vegetable stew flavor. I would say Hill’s is their favorite, due to it being much more juicy and chock-full of veggies.
