How to let your pet snack responsibly
As a pet parent, you sometimes want to give your dog or cat an extra treat, but healthy snacking remains a major concern. Responsible snacking means choosing treats that are not only tasty but also contribute to your pet's wellbeing and health. Flamingo offers a wide range of responsible snacks, including Nature, Boost with collagen, Veggie, and Zero Rawhide snacks. In this blog, you'll learn why responsible snacks are a smart choice and how you can incorporate them into your pet's daily routine.
The importance of responsible snacking behaviour in pets
Just like with humans, excessive or unhealthy snacking in pets can lead to weight gain and health issues, such as dental problems and joint concerns. Responsible snacking helps to keep your dog or cat in good condition while still allowing them to enjoy a tasty treat. It is important to choose snacks that suit your pet's specific needs, such as those without unnecessary additives and made with natural ingredients.
Flamingo Nature Snacks
Natural and pure flavours
Flamingo's Nature snacks are the perfect choice for pet parents looking for a natural and pure snack option. These snacks contain only high-quality ingredients, with no artificial additives or preservatives.
Nature snacks are made from pure meat and are a fantastic addition to your dog's diet. Because these snacks consist of pure ingredients, they align with your pet's natural preferences and contain only essential nutrients.
- Suitable for daily treats: Thanks to their natural composition, you can give these snacks more frequently without worrying about unnecessary calories or unwanted additives.
- Supports healthy digestion: Many of our Nature snacks contain ingredients that are easily digestible and, as a result, help support healthy digestion.
Boost snacks with collagen
Support for joints, skin, and coat
Our Boost snacks with collagen are specifically designed to provide extra nutrients that contribute to your dog's health. Collagen is an important protein that supports joints, skin, and coat, and is especially beneficial for active dogs or older pets who may need some additional support. Boost snacks are grain-free and contain high-quality collagen, making them the perfect supplement for dogs that are sensitive to grains or suffer from joint issues.
- Ideal for active and older dogs: Collagen helps keep joints and connective tissue supple, which is important for dogs that are very active or those who could benefit from some extra support.
- Extra boost for skin and coat: Collagen also contributes to a healthy coat and skin, making your dog or cat not only healthier but also more beautiful.
Veggie Snacks
Plant-based options for varied snacking pleasure
For dogs that eat less meat or for pet parents who want to occasionally treat their pet to something plant-based, our Veggie snacks are an excellent choice. These snacks are made from plant-based ingredients such as sweet potato and carrot, offering a tasty alternative to traditional treats. They are low in calories and contain fibre, which helps support digestion and keeps your pet satisfied and satiated.
- Easily digestible: Plant-based snacks are often easier to digest, making them ideal for dogs with sensitive stomachs.
- Lower calorie intake: Thanks to their plant-based composition, Veggie snacks are usually lower in calories, which helps keep your pet's weight under control.
Zero Rawhide Snacks
Safe and sustainable chewing options
Dogs have a natural need to chew, but many traditional chewing bones contain raw buffalo hide (rawhide). Our Zero Rawhide snacks are free from rawhide and made from responsible ingredients that are gentle on your pet's stomach. Zero Rawhide snacks are a great choice for dogs who love to chew, providing long-lasting chewing pleasure.
- Safe, natural ingredients: The Zero Rawhide snacks are specially designed for extended chewing moments.
- Supports dental health: Chewing on Zero Rawhide snacks helps remove plaque and contributes to a healthy set of teeth.
Tips for responsible snacking for your pet
1. Choose snacks tailored to your pet's needs: Pay attention to the specific requirements of your dog or cat. For example, an older dog may benefit more from collagen-rich snacks, while an active cat may need a snack with a high protein content.
2. Monitor the quantities: Giving too many snacks can lead to weight gain. Keep snack moments limited and adjust the quantity according to your pet's size and activity level.
3. Prioritise quality over quantity: Opt for snacks that contain natural ingredients, such as Nature snacks. This way, you can be sure your dog or cat is getting only the best.
4. Make snack moments special: Give snacks during training sessions or as a reward for good behaviour. This not only makes snacking enjoyable but also promotes positive learning.
5. Vary with healthy options: Try different snacks from our Flamingo collection, such as Boost, Nature, and Veggie snacks, to discover what your pet likes best and to keep their diet varied.
