Low-fat food treats for dogs

Posted by Warren Smith on

After talking to various people at Crufts and performing market research, we’ve found that many more people are looking for low-fat dog options. Whether you want your pooches to lose some weight or just want to give more treats, then low fat is the way to go. We already have many great low-fat options in our healthy dog treats range.

Why focus on low fat?

Low-fat options are becoming more popular for various reasons. For example, dogs considered overweight, inactive, or with other underlying health conditions can benefit from forgoing excessively fatty foods. Dogs diagnosed with pancreatitis or hyperlipidemia can also benefit from low-fat diets.

Tuna & Crab Training Treats

One product that flew off the shelves at Crufts was the Tuna and Crab training treats. Not the first proteins associated with dogs, these fish make up incredibly flavoursome and low-fat treats.

Moreover, these treats are formulated to be low in fat (just 1.35%) and gently air-dried to lock in nutrients and flavour, ensuring a healthy and delicious reward for your pup.

Apologies if your dog becomes an avid fan of these proteins and suddenly wants to share your tuna sandwich or crab salad in the future!
