Treats should always be offered as part of a balanced diet. We recommend making sure treats don’t take up more than 10% of your pet’s daily food allowance – and their usual food will need reducing by the same amount to make sure they aren’t overeating
Remember, you should always supervise your pets during play! Examine toys regularly for damage and discard any toy that becomes worn or unsafe.
