Looking to celebrate Easter with your sweet pooch or kitty? Stay AWAY from the chocolate, but share some of these yummies – in moderation…
For Dogs:
- Line a kong or other ‘busy” toy with peanut butter
- Hide some liver treats on a cardboard box
- Mash banana with a little squirt of honey and small spoon of plain yoghurt and freeze in a kong or plastic storage container and serve as a yummy ice lolly
- Carob dog treats look like choccie but are not choccie – just a small amount though as some dogs get upset tummies if they chomp too much
For Cats:
- Liver treats in a tissue box – keeps them busy and you entertained, while they try to fish the delicious morsels out…
- A tinned sardine – this is an occasional treat that provides a good source of Omega 3. DO NOT feed fish exclusively though, since your cat will miss out on essential nutrients that he/she needs to stay healthy. Make sure his/her regular meal is from a well-formulated, well-balanced food.
- Catnip – what a treat!
