Reduced Calories, Reduced Fat

Reduced Sodium
The low-sodium content in each Fiber Formula Dog Biscuit (.06% DM) meets nutritional guidelines for dogs with heart disease, circulatory problems, and geriatric dogs.

Fiber adds bulk to the biscuit without adding calories. Fiber also helps to satisfy hunger by giving the stomach a full feeling. Fiber Formula has considerably more fiber (19% DM) than commercially available treats.
Older Dog
Low protein (16.10% DM), phosphorus (.41% DM), and sodium (.06% DM) levels in each Fiber Formula biscuit meet veterinary nutritionists' guidelines for geriatric dogs.
Diabetes
Veterinarians recommend a low-fat, high-fiber diet for dogs with diabetes mellitus. With a fat level of 2.5% (DM) and fiber of 19.0% (DM), Fiber Formula could be the perfect treat. Ask your veterinarian.
Anal Gland
Fiber Formula can be used as a fiber source with each biscuit containing 1.63 g crude fiber.
Hyperlipidemia
The nutritional goal in diets and treats for this disease is a lowered fat level. Fiber Formula has the lowest fat level of any treat manufactured today.
Low Calories for Healthy Dogs
Healthy dogs with tendencies towards obesity or dogs that receive many treats can eat Fiber Formula without adding excessive calories to their diet.
Ask your veterinarian whether Fiber Formula Dog Biscuits would be appropriate for your dog's diet.
Question: How many calories are in the Fiber Formula dog biscuit?
Answer: Each Fiber Formula dog biscuit has 24.7 calories -- (74.1 kcal/oz.) Fiber Formula has 19% crude fiber and 2.5% fat. Crude fiber has no calories. On an ounce per ounce basis, this is about 25% fewer calories than the leading brand (Milk Bone®). Milk Bone® has 1% crude fiber and a hefty level of fat. It isn't possible for Milk Bone® to have fewer calories on an ounce-to-ounce basis.
Question: Is Fiber Formula an omega-3 supplement?
Answer: Fiber Formula does contain more omega-3 fatty acids than most other treats, and may be of some help alone. It is really meant to be fed as part of a diet which is balanced, or supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids.
Question: Can I use Fiber Formula with omega-3 fatty acid supplements?
Answer: Yes, the ration of ÃËÅ6:ÃËÅ3 fatty acids in the dog's overall diet is more important than the amount of omega-3s added. Fiber Formula at any feeding level will contribute the correct ratio of fatty acids.
