Health Problems and Special Needs

Heart disease, obesity, geriatric-related problems, and food allergies are some of the diseases dogs develop. For conditions treatable through diet, the type of treat used plays an important part in the dog's nutrition. Keeping a dog on a veterinarian-recommended diet is critical for the dog's recovery or maintenance.

Heart Disease

A low-sodium diet is often recommended for dogs with heart disease. Many commercial treats use high levels of sodium to ensure palatability. Treats high in sodium can be dangerous for dogs with heart disease. For a low-sodium treat, click here for Fiber Formula® Dog Biscuits.

Overweight Pets

Cancer, heart disease, and locomotion problems are at least 50% more likely to develop in obese dogs. Low-fat, low-calorie treats decrease the caloric intake for overweight dogs or dogs that are likely to become obese. For a low-fat, low-calorie treat, click here for Fiber Formula® Dog Biscuits.

Food Allergies

Scratching is a common sign of food allergies in dogs. Veterinarians control food allergies by eliminating the offending ingredient from the dog's food.

Common Sources of Food Allergies

Allergen

Sources

Gluten wheat flour, oat groats, barley, sorghum, rye, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, malt
Soybean Protein soybean meal, soybean hulls
Beef Protein animal by-products meal, beef

Your challenge as a dog owner is to find a treat that meets veterinarian dietary restrictions and guidelines. For an ingredient-restricted treat, click here for Rice Formula Dog Biscuits.

Geriatric Dog

Lower protein, phosphorus, and sodium levels are recommended for older dog diets. Using a treat that meets these guidelines helps to reduce the wear and tear on vital organs. For a low-protein treat, click here for Rice Formula Dog Biscuits. For a low-sodium treat, click here for Fiber Formula® Dog Biscuits.
