Hi Gemma

Have you tried the Royal Canin Educ Training rewards - they are 2cals per treat so they are fab. They are in a dispenser, not to big and the dogs just love them

I'll have to let her know that, then I might finally get her off my back (not sure what she expects me to do when something is not longer for sale here), just as long as she doesn't decide I have to find some way of getting them so we can sell them to all the other mad clients. Sometimes I really hate being incharge of stock, lol.

Just to be nosey, looked at eukanuba website...they make them in US, maybe she could import them if she's that desperate LOL !! Or just divide a water biscuit into about 20 bits ??that must be pretty low calorie if she feels she needs to 'treat'

I generally think that if an animal needs light treats then it probably shouldn't be getting them at all and its treats should come from its food or be something like carrot, but we have some of those annoying clients that seem to think that unless something is marketed as a treat then it isn't a treat (and this includes one of our receptionist - she has been doing my head in going on about the treats which had actually lead me to ask this). We sell a lot of Barker and Barker liver treats which are good, but for some reason people don't seem to view these in the same way as a biscuit. The Eukanuba treats were good as they weren't too large, but could be easily made smaller as well. Which they would make them again.

I guess lots of use the old ' use part of their complete biscuits as part of their treats and they don't get extra that way' thing. Think that gets people into better habits...

Coachies are quite good as they are weeny , not sure of calorific value though but loads use for clicker training...

Have also heard that you can 'bake' some diets eg PVD OM ( purina) in the oven at low heat into a buscuit. One of our reps had a recipe...
