“We are thrilled to launch our Veterinary Diets Snacks, our first line of products specifically designed for dogs on a veterinary diet who also have a variety of medical conditions,” said Martin Čech, R&D and export manager at Calibra. “Feeding common snacks to dogs can undermine or even spoil the effects of veterinary diets. With Calibra Veterinary Snacks that is no longer an issue because our products were created entirely in accordance with veterinary diets. Pet parents can now reward their dogs on a diet with no worries.”
