Nutrition Tips:

Peanut Butter:
Most dogs love peanut butter. It contains oil, protein and essential nutrients which can benefit health.
Peanut butter can also be used to disguise a pill if your dog needs medication.

Honey:
Use good honey which has been cold extracted as opposed to heat extracted.
Honey is also an excellent source of enzymes and B vitamins and boosts energy for mothers, sick dogs, old dogs in diabetic crises etc.

Rolled Oats:
Provide high fibre, whole grains, and essential fatty acids. A good source of minerals, high in calcium, iron, zinc, potassium and manganese. Also provide good levels of Vitamins E & B.

Pumpkin:
Vegetables provide fibre and pumpkin is a low GI food.

Treats: Healthy and inexpensive. Treat should be nutritious, low calorie or both.
