Tips for Safe and Effective Treat Making
Consultation with a Vet
Before introducing any new treats into your pet’s diet, consult with your vet. They can provide guidance on specific dietary needs and ensure that the chosen ingredients align with your pet’s health requirements.
Portion Control
While treats are a delightful addition to your pet’s routine, moderation is key. Be mindful of portion sizes to prevent overfeeding, which can lead to weight issues and other health concerns.
Storage and Shelf Life
Homemade treats may lack preservatives, so proper storage is essential. Keep treats in airtight containers and be aware of their shelf life. Consider refrigeration for treats with perishable ingredients.
