Did you know more than 40% of dog owners admit to adding table scraps, or other wet food, to their dogs' meals? Dr. Kozuch recognizes this. "Dog owners like to offer a little excitement, especially when serving a dry meal," he says.
However, Dr. Kozuch says Iams gives pet owners healthier ways to spoil their dog. "Indeed, there is a whole lot of room for kindness and excitement in nutritional foods," he says.
To add some excitement to the routine dry dog food, for example, look for Iams Savory Sauce® — a nutritious, daily-use condiment enriched with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Hailed as a gastronomic delight for dogs of all ages, this delicious "dog gravy" comes in an easy-pour plastic bottle and helps promote lifelong health with low-fat, low-calorie beef, chicken and bacon flavours.
Citing the case of a researcher whose English bulldog, Lulu, took an instant liking to Iams Savory Sauce during trials, Dr. Kozuch says, "Lulu would wait for his owner to pour a few drops of the Savory Sauces into the bowl. And, on occasions that the owner forgot, Lulu would cast wistful glances at the cabinet in which the sauces were stored."
The good news for dog owners, Dr. Kozuch emphasizes, is that the addition of taste and flavour does not come along with an excess of calories or fat. Plus, Iams Savory Sauce is formulated for all three life stages, including puppy, adult and active maturity.
Regardless of the food you choose, your pet must have plenty of fresh water available at all times.
