Fresh Treats Your Senior Dog Can Actually Enjoy

Treats are a daily way to express our love for our dogs. For senior pets, choosing the right treats is even more important.

Many fruits and vegetables are excellent treats for dogs: they’re low in empty calories, high in fiber and antioxidants, and most seniors love them. Just remember, not every fresh food is safe, and portion size matters.

This free guide was put together by two veterinarians to take the guesswork out of it. Inside, you’ll find which fruits and veggies are safe to share, how many treat calories your dog should have based on their weight, and simple tips for incorporating fresh food into their routine without overdoing it.

Love Baxter scaled

In memory of our beloved Baxter.

In 2012, a little Boston Terrier named Baxter entered our lives and changed everything. Through twelve and a half years of unconditional love, he taught us what it means to truly connect with another being. When Baxter passed away, a simple but meaningful gift—a star named in his honor—helped us cope with our loss. That moment of comfort and remembrance became the inspiration for Love, Baxter.

Baxter—you will always be the greatest thing we’ve lost.

Love, Baxter is for everyone who’s ever loved—and lost—a pet.

Because no matter how much time we have with them, it’s never enough. But the love they leave behind? That lasts forever.
