Although we love to treat our pets, many options available out there contain a high concentration of sugar. Much like humans, sugar (or glucose) can have positive and negative effects on our health.
A healthy brain derives almost all of its required energy from glucose, but the key is consistency.
Even levels of glucose will help to improve brain function, manage behavior, and can work to reduce stress and anxiety.
