📊 Nutrition Notes
Zucchini is very low in calories but rich in vitamin C, potassium, and manganese. Turkey provides lean protein with less fat than most meats. Coconut flour adds fibre. This is one of the lowest-calorie treat options.
💡 Tips
- Squeeze the zucchini really well — excess moisture makes soggy biscuits
- Great for overweight dogs who still deserve treats
- The mild zucchini flavour is masked by the turkey
- These are about 30% fewer calories than standard treats
