It is loaded with calories and it packed about 2lbs on her small frame very quickly. For that reason alone I wouldn't give it daily. It also has taken me about a year and a half to get most of that 2lbs off of her. She has LP in both back knees and added weight is not good for her joints.
As for treats...my two will take your hand off for a frozen green bean.  |
Good point! I sure don't want to put too much weight on KS's tiny frame. I think I will stop giving it to her daily and try something more healthy. She usually eats about 1/2 cup of her dry dog food per day. She eats Royal Canin. Then we give her a spoon of non fat, plain, Greek yogurt each night. I will try the green bean trick. I read where someone mentioned apples too. I'll look into that.
