Treats that will not ruin dinner

If dinner starts coming back uneaten, look at the treat jar before you look at the kibble. Most households overshoot the ten-percent treat rule by Wednesday.

BerryBites and broken HoneyBone pieces are sized for that rule. MintFresh is a dental chew, not a training treat — count it as part of the daily calorie budget, not as a free extra.

Cats are even tighter. A few SilkWhisker kibbles from the bag work better as rewards than a grocery “temptation” that is mostly sugar and grease.
