Choosing Low-Fat Treats for Your Dog

Low-fat treats: who are they ideal for?


When it comes to choosing treats for our pets, quality and nutrition are paramount.

Low-fat treats are becoming increasingly popular, but who are they really for?

At Sako&Co, we are dedicated to the well-being of your dog or cat, which is why we have decided to shed some light on the subject.


Low-fat treats can be beneficial for several reasons:


1. Weight Control: For pets that are overweight or tend to gain weight easily, low-fat treats can help maintain a healthy weight.

2. Optimal Digestion: Less fat often means better digestion, which is essential for your pet's overall well-being.

3. Heart Health: Reducing the amount of saturated fat can help maintain optimal heart health.


Who are they recommended for?

- Sedentary dogs and cats: Pets that have a reduced activity level may need fewer calories, so low-fat treats are ideal.

- Overweight pets: Low-fat treats can help reduce calorie intake while still satisfying treat cravings.

- Older animals: As they age, some animals may have different nutritional needs, including a reduction in fat intake.


How to Choose the Best Low Fat Treats?

When selecting treats for your pet, it is essential to read labels and understand the ingredients .

Choose natural treats, without artificial additives or preservatives.

As a general rule, foods with a fat content between 5 and 10% are considered acceptable for dogs on a low-fat diet.
