What snacks do you give a dog with overweight?

2. Use kibble as a snack

Do you want to give your dog a treat without adding extra calories? Consider using some of their daily kibble as a reward. Weigh the kibble you give as a treat and subtract this amount from the total kibble you feed your dog that day. This ensures your dog doesn’t get extra calories but still gets rewarded. It’s a smart way to include snacks without disrupting their diet.

3. Natural snacks from your own kitchen

Another great option is to give healthy snacks from your own kitchen, such as various vegetables that are not only nutritious but also low in calories. For example, you can give your dog carrots, green beans, cucumber, and beets. These vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that support your dog’s energy and health. They’re a delicious way to spoil your dog without adding extra calories.

Don’t forget exercise!
