I feel it is expensive BUT it’s good quality I feel it’s giving her the extra nutrients she needs.

Ah, good point Edanna – I was thinking of the regular Providore food, not the treats. I don’t know what the ingredients are of the treats but they don’t need to conform to any real regulations.

Jill, there’s a list of treats I recommend here, but too be honest when I’ve trained any of my dogs I’ve used boiled and diced chicken – works a treat and is healthy and cheaper! You can even put the chicken in handy freezer bags and freeze it.

The treats are higher in salt I feel as the salt is quiet high up in the ingredients. If you want a better treat try Yours Droolly New Zealand range, chicken and kumara. I feed a lot of these daily, never had any issues.

Hi Jill, generally dog foods have 1% salt, but there are other factors which can cause a dog to be thirsty. Do you usually feed Providore or is this a first time? I think your best bet is not to feed it for a few days to make sure your dog’s thirst returns to normal, then perhaps try it again. The if your dog becomes thirsty again (especially excessively) then perhaps return the bag? Eureka is a similar brand which is worth checking out, made in America.
