she said. " In order for dental treats to be safe
and effective, the pet must chew, but not
swallow, large pieces of the treat. Due to
these chews needing to be large enough to
accommodate this purpose, this larger size
naturally comes with a larger calorie count.
Because of the increased size and calories, if
a dental treat is given each day, there is likely
no room for other treats in the diet.
" Treat manufacturers can do a service to
pets by always including appropriate feeding
guidelines for their products and having
an accurate assessment of the calories per

dental treats, biscuits, jerky treats, chews, and even functional
treats or supplements.
" Even treats that can offer huge benefits like dental treats
or functional treats that have beneficial supplements can

diet, " she added.
Treating less frequently is one solution. However, when
it comes to weight management pet food formulations,
simply feeding less won't do the trick.
" A therapeutic diet is the appropriate option since we
want to increase, decrease and add certain nutrients to help
pets achieve an ideal body weight and condition, " Gagné
said. " It is not recommended to simply feed less, since you
will be lowering all nutrients in addition to the fat content. "
Therapeutic approaches
In a weight management pet food formula, higher protein
