Don't bark up the wrong tree when it comes to pet nutrition. Always consult a veterinarian to determine the best feeding schedule and types of foods for your individual animal. As for treats, while they should be given in moderation, you may need to offer them more frequently during training.

Fortunately, there's one type of treat many dog owners are glad to give. It's made with goat's milk, so it's easy for the dog to digest. Its rich proteins and vitamins are readily absorbed by a dog's system, where they quickly go about their healthy business. The Nature's Dog All Natural Treats in Peanut Butter or Chicken Flavor from Canus are low-calorie, energizing snacks good for training puppies or rewarding senior dogs.

Each treat provides a natural source of healthy fats, oils and proteins. The all-natural treats are wheat-free, soy-free, corn-free and contain no artificial coloring or flavoring and no animal by-products.
