Over the years we have seen the important roles dogs can play in our lives, from being a canine athlete and personal trainer to assisting with therapy and helping us on the job, but one of most important roles a dog can play in our lives is being a member of the family. There is no question about it, we love our dogs.

One of the many ways we demonstrate this love is by rewarding our dogs with treats. Treats are a great way to express how we feel, reward them when they do something good and can also provide them hours of enrichment.

Surveys have shown that 56% of dog owners admit to giving their dog treats as a form of affection*, however there is a downside to providing too many treats in our pets diet, and that is the added calories.
