A New Year's Resolution to Keep Your Dog Trim

Jan. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- KNOXVILLE, TN (January 3, 2011) - According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, an estimated 40 percent of all canines in the United States - approximately 17 million - are obese or overweight. That's why conscientious pet parents are rethinking the way they feed their furry friends in 2012.

Now, thanks to Lickety Stik from PetSafe, choosing to reduce the calories you feed your pup doesn't mean denying him an incredibly tasty reward. Lickety Stik is the world's first and only all-natural treat for dogs. What makes the Lickety Stik so special is an ingenious roller-ball dispenser (global patents pending) that delivers rich, savory flavor with every single lick. Yet it delivers only a fraction of the calories of conventional dog biscuits and treats. There is just one calorie in every ten licks!

"The Lickety Stik is truly a breakthrough for any dog owner who's concerned about managing the weight of their pet," commented Dr. George Collings, a prominent pet nutrition consultant. "It offers a fun reward and a between-meal treat without the excess calories. And for dogs with sensitive stomachs, it doesn't pose issues with digestion.  

Beyond weight management, there are many more reasons why the Lickety Stik is so easy for both pets and pet parents to love. The handy 1.69 fluid ounce bottle fits in the glove compartment, back pocket or purse, which makes it great for on-the-spot, no-mess treating. Your dog will be glad to know it's available in three droolworthy flavors - Savory Chicken, Braised Liver and Smoky Bacon varieties. And you'll appreciate the fact that the Lickety Stik is also easy on the pocketbook, since each bottle dispenses over 500 licks for a suggested retailprice of $7.99.

Pet parents are invited to look for the entire Lickety Stik line at their neighborhood specialty pet store. Visit www.petsafe.net/licketystik to discover why rewarding your dog with this unique, all-natural treat is such a smart way to greet the new year.
