Pet treats may or may not contain nutritious substances, but in any case are never a holistic meal. Pet treats can be used for training, promoting dental health, joint health, weight control, etc. Their role as motivational tools is well documented and they also play a significant role to spice up the pet's meal and quell boredom.
