Our practical advice, given the fat content: break them into pieces and use them for something. A whole cookie handed over is a few seconds of pleasure; the same cookie broken up and hidden in a foraging toy is half an hour of work, and the same cookie used across a training session buys you a bird that steps up reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep all treats together to a small fraction of the daily diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions we get asked\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24% fat — is that safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a treat, yes.
