    6. TREAT LESS 

    We love to slip our dogs a treat every now and then, but those tiny snacks can add up in the calorie department. Treats should not equal more than 10 percent of your dog's daily calories. If you want to give your dog healthful treats, consider fresh fruits or vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, green beans or apples. (Vetstreet)
