Del Monte Pet Products announced today the release of their new Pup-Peroni 50 Calorie Packs.

Just like what the 100-calorie packs have done for people snacks, Del Monte hopes that 50-calorie snack packs will do for dogs.

And it's no coincidence that they released this at this time, with New Year's Day just a few days away. It allows you to add your dog into your New Year's weight loss resolution.

Though, I'm not sure 50-calorie packs is what is needed to trim your dog down. In my opinion it's really about getting your dog on a feeding schedule with measured proportions.

Del Monte says that one 50 calorie pack is an ideal daily serving for a small dog (5-10 pounds), while medium to larger-sized dogs, ranging from 45-70 pounds, can enjoy more than four or five of the new Pup-Peroni snack packs.

The new 50-calorie packs will be available at all major pet stores.
