Animals on Therapeutic Pet FoodsHealth Problems and Special NeedsHeart 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 DiseaseA 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 PetsCancer, 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 AllergiesScratching is a common sign of food allergies in dogs. Veterinarians control food allergies by eliminating the offending ingredient from the dog's food.
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.
