Rewards and training: Fruitables Healthy Weight Pumpkin & Blueberry Treats. 8 calories each, so frequent rewards stay light.
Switching the everyday food: Nature's Recipe Grain Free Chicken, Sweet Potato & Pumpkin. Only if your vet is fine with grain-free.
Fiber add-in: pumpkin powder. Treats: Fruitables. New bag: only with your vet's OK.
Native Pet Organic Pumpkin: the fiber add-in
Three organic ingredients on the label, as a powder you sprinkle on his regular food. It is a fiber add-in, so ask your vet whether it belongs in the plan and how much.
The catch
The powder gets messy. Add a little moisture and mix it over the bowl.
Fruitables: the treat swap
Made with real pumpkin and blueberry, oven-baked, with no added salt, corn or soy. Small enough for training reps. Count every treat toward his daily total.
The catch
They are soft and gone in a bite, so keep a few in your pocket. They are snacks, not dental chews.
Skip it if
Your dog wants a crunch. Old Mother Hubbard Classic Dog Biscuits are crunchy and oven-baked.
Nature's Recipe: the everyday bag
Grain-free dry food. Real chicken leads the ingredient list, with pumpkin and sweet potato added for fiber, and no corn, wheat, soy or artificial preservatives. The listing is the 4 lb small-breed bag.
The catch
It is grain-free, so clear it with your vet before you switch.
Skip it if
Your dog isn't a small breed. This listing is the 4 lb small-breed bag.
