Yes. PDFs can be opened on phones and tablets, although worksheets designed for handwriting or printing will naturally be easier to use on a larger screen or on paper.

Lazy Dog Mom treats start with simple whole-food ingredients. Ingredients are prepared in small batches and dehydrated to remove moisture rather than being padded with fillers, flavor coatings, or unnecessary extras.

The ingredient itself stays the focus: simple food, prepared for convenient treating.

Green — Everyday: smaller rewards intended for more frequent use, such as training.

Blue — Sometimes: longer-lasting chews and enrichment-style treats.

Red — Sparingly: richer, nutrient-dense options such as organ-based treats that are meant to be used intentionally.

Lazy Dog Mom uses whole animal ingredients and prepares treats in small batches. Sourcing can vary by ingredient and availability, so the individual product page and package label are the best place to confirm exactly what is in a specific treat.

The calculators are designed to give generally healthy adult dogs a practical starting point. The calorie tool estimates a daily calorie range and can translate a food label’s calorie information into a starting feeding amount. The PMR and BARF tools use percentage-of-body-weight frameworks.

They do not diagnose disease, prove that a homemade diet is complete and balanced, or replace an individualized veterinary feeding plan. Puppies, pregnancy or lactation, therapeutic weight change, medical diets, and highly variable working-dog needs require additional care.
