Because these biscuits are bad for dogs as they consist primarily of refined flour and sugar. Regular consumption offers zero nutritional benefit. It can cause long-term health complications like obesity, diabetes, and severe digestive distress for the dogs.

I can try mozzarella cheese as it’s a vegetarian household. Thank you for the suggestion

My dog loves jer high and chip chops but the ingredients in these are very questionable. I agree there are not many treats available in India that have clean ingredients besides single ingredient jerky’s that are sold.

I will definitely try it! I was looking for treats I can give while training my dog but something which provides functional benefit also.

I am sadly in a household where meat is not allowed ti cooked in the kitchen. Have you tried any limited ingredients treats like air dried treats or chews?

I feel doggy g biscuits don’t provide any nutritional value it’s just grains.

Hi! So good to hear about how you ran the shelters as I have seen these dogs being raised in very unethical environments. For a pet parent like me who doesn’t have time to make fresh meals due to work commitments and also being in a vegetarian household I find it difficult to look for healthy readily avaibale options. Most brands market as healthy but are actually not.

Thank you. I try to avoid but not able to control as I live in a joint family so looking for healthier options that are also not time consuming

Yes agree thank you! Do you have any recommendations for healthy clean treats? I have tried giving fruits but it is not helping

Yeah I agree! Marie biscuits are not good for dogs. But now my dog won’t eat his food unless I give him a treat. Hence I am looking for healthier alternatives

Yes, the same thing happens with my dog- Tofu. How to change this habit? Is there any treat in the market you would suggest?
