Low Calorie Treats

[Amber]

Any suggestions for low calorie treats both for training and after walk/bedtime biscuits and kongs. 4 year old Amber is on a diet as her weight has crept up over the last few months. I have reduced her regular meals and cut out extras but we have a few regular routines that work well for us e.g. a kong if we go out or whilst we are eating diner, biscuit after coming in for a walk and at bedtime.

Fish is great ! I buy treats from Fish4dogs , they are low carb and contain no nasties either . I also use tiny bits of sausage , anything with a strong smell ! x

I've just made a few batches of treats. I home cook for my dogs, so I just blitzed up some of their dinner (this week, it's white fish and vegetable stew) with a couple of eggs, milk, coconut oil and some rice flour, to make a pancake-batter consistency. Then I pour into pyramid pans and either microwave or bake (which I prefer) until set. Actually, I just bought these new mini ice cube trays which make treats a little larger than the pyramid pans, but if you're after lower calorie, smaller is probably better

I use fish cubes.

They sound expensive but a 1Kg bag is huge and lasts me a couple of months, the dogs adore them.

Would she like cooked, mashed carrot in her kong?

I am sure these would go down well she used to love sea biscuits.

That is a good idea she loves a raw carrot.

I use fish skins or a tripe stick instead of a biscuit and when we leave the house. Harley loves them.

A little bit of anything mixed with low fat yoghurt in a long works well.
my usual is banana as we always have over ripe ones, just mix in a tablespoon of kibble or chopped veg or fish cu e or two with the banana and yoghurt, and omit the gravy bones "stick" for diets

I do need to make better use of veg. Thanks for the low fat yoghurt suggestion.
