A healthy, balanced diet for adult pets should consist of 90% well formulated dry or canned food and 10% from outside sources such as training treats, dental treats, toppers, table scraps and supplements.
When you feed your pet over 10% of outside sources you are creating an unbalanced diet, putting your pet at risk for nutritional deficiencies and obesity.
Please ask your veterinarian how many calories your pet should consume daily to help determine what 10% of calories is.
For reference, if your pet’s daily calorie intake is 1000 calories, then 900 calories should come from dry or canned food and only 100 calories should be from treats.
