Watch for Sugar
Although we love to treat our pets, many options available out there contain a high concentration of sugar. Much like humans, sugar (or glucose) can have positive and negative effects on our health.
A healthy brain derives almost all of its required energy from glucose, but the key is consistency.
Even levels of glucose will help to improve brain function, manage behavior and can work to reduce stress and anxiety.
Pet Planet offers a wide variety of healthy, functional and protein-rich treats that will help our pets thrive each and every day – so you can give them all the love you want, without all the sugar.
