Hello everyone Smile

Just doing some research into what it is that you look for when buying treats for your dog/cat (if anything). This can be anything to things it includes or specifically things you try to avoid !

Hi there, welcome to the Forum Big Grin

I look for natural treats. For instance, my Flo loves dried Duck strips. She also has biscuit treats which are made from natural ingredients as far as possible without useless additives.

When you get a min, pop along to the link below and say Hi:-

Oh yeah... Carrot!

My Flo loves them and they are by far the cheapest treat. Wonder whether she prefers baby carrots confused
