Giving them this as a treat is good for them because they are just getting their normal food but they love it because it&#8217;s a different texture.<\/p>\n<p>I put the mash in the white dish that they recognise as their treats dish. The girl&#8217;s went crazy for it and would have licked the dish clean if they could.
