Will dehydrated meat & pumpkin treats unbalance my dog's diet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 7 years and 2 months old | 17 lbs

Hello. Will giving my dog dehydrated meat and pumpkin treats (as no more than 10% of her diet) unbalance her diet? Or is it best to stick to the royal canin specific treats? (Same brand as her kibble) thank you!

Hello, and thanks for your question. As long as Chloe tolerates the treats and they don't cause any GI upset, dehydrated meat and pumpkin treats are good options - just make sure she's still getting the majority of her calories from a complete and balanced food such as royal canin. Hope this helps!
