5 summer treats for your pet

Sweet, tangy, and juicy – berries make for super handy treats for your pet dogs. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc are a perfect summer snack - low in calories, high in fiber, and full of antioxidants and vitamin C.

Mango – the sweetest gift of summer. Mango is the most perfect summer treat for dogs as it contains both beta-carotene and alpha-carotene. It also packs in multiple vitamins - A, C, E, and B6. As always, remember to wash thoroughly and give only in moderation.

Cucumber is a very cooling, fibrous, and hydrating treat and it is essential for your pet. A very healthy option for overweight dogs, cucumbers have little to no carbohydrates, oils or fats and boost hydration and energy levels. They are also loaded with potassium, magnesium, copper and biotin and beneficial vitamins like K, C, and B1.

As a snack – you can give unsalted, sugar-free peanut butter as it is to your pet and see them licking the spoon off. When given in moderation, peanut butter can be a wonderful source of protein, healthy fats, vitamin B, vitamin E, and niacin
