We can’t help but spoil our pets; we just love them so much. But you don’t want to harm your furbaby with human foods. While some vegetables and fruits are healthy for them, there are some foods that you should never feed your pet.

The ideal is to feed your pet food and treats that are specifically formulated for him. Choose from a variety of kibble, wet food, semi-moist bite-size treats, biscuits and ovals that contain vitamins, minerals and omega-3 and -6 available from Family Pet Centre.
Always keep your pet’s total calorie intake for the day in mind. If you feed him treats during the day, he can only have the balance of his daily calorie count for dinner. Speak to your vet or the resident vet at Family Pet Centre for advice on what and how much to feed your pet.
Remember that not all treats have to be edible. Give your dog extra love, a daily walk or even a special toy to show your affection.
