Authority

So, since our quest for new food was short (we have a medically prescribed diet) the quest for a healthy treat began since Ms. Picky McPickerson is very particular about her treats. We used to feed her squishy treats since she was not a fan of crunchy treats, but with the diabetes that had to stop. (Soft treats are MUCH higher in sugars than crunchy treats.) The first thing I thought was that I would make some, but right now, starting a new position in my company and school makes it hard to find time to bake treats. Also, since she only gets about 5 treats a week, my recipes make far too many treats for that and she would never consume them in time. So, we hunted for a crunch treat that she would like but was healthy for her. While this quest will be never ending really, this is the first stop the treat train has brought us to.

Authority brand treats. They are healthy and you can pronounce pretty much everything on the label (except I'm not scientist so the vitamins and minerals added are a tongue twister for me). Each treat has a different 'main function' based on the treat flavor. We are going with apple and oatmeal and pumpkin and turkey first. Actually, first first is pumpkin and turkey. Turkey and pumpkin treats are high in calcium and have lots of antioxidants for her immune system. When I first opened them they smell a little cinnamon-y but she really likes them. Kita usually gobbles them up. We haven't opened up the apple and cinnamon ones yet but she had apple flavored treats before and enjoyed them and she likes oatmeal so we have high hopes for those treats.
