Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Australian Cattle Dog | Female | spayed | 4 years and 9 months old | 55 lbs

My Dog has severe anxiety. As per behaviorist, I am using treats for modification. She has gained significant weight. Any suggestions on high value treats that aren't high in calories?

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, there are some good low calorie treats called "Tricky Trainers"which are only 3kcal/treat. They taste very good and smell good too! My dogs at home go bonkers for them. I hope this helps and best of luck!
