FAQs about Dog Treats
What are the best types of dog treats for training?
The best treats for training are small, soft, and easy to chew so your dog can quickly eat them without getting distracted from the training session. They should also be low-calorie, as training often involves giving multiple treats in one session. Look for treats made with high-quality ingredients to ensure they align with your dog’s dietary needs. Finally, every dog is unique when it comes to what types of food drive them (and how much food is a motivator to begin with). If your dog doesn’t like a specific treat, don’t get frustrated—they have food preferences just like you.
How can I choose healthy treats for my dog?
Treats made from natural proteins and ingredients like sweet potato, peanut butter, or salmon are great options. Always check the label to ensure the treat aligns with your dog’s dietary needs.
Can I give my dog treats if they have food allergies?
Yes, many treats are designed for dogs with allergies or sensitivities. Look for hypoallergenic or limited-ingredient treats that specify they are free from common allergens like chicken, beef, dairy, wheat, or soy. It's always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian before introducing new treats to an allergy-prone dog.
How many treats can I give my dog each day?
Treats should only make up about 10% of your dog's daily caloric intake. The exact number of treats will depend on your dog’s size, activity level, and the calorie count of the treat.
What should I look for in treats for puppies?
Puppy treats should be soft, small, and easy to chew, as their teeth and jaws are still developing. Puppy-specific treats are formulated with the nutrients they need for healthy growth, and are usually higher in calories since they need more energy than adults. Always check the label to ensure they’re appropriate for your puppy’s age and size.
Are rawhide treats safe for dogs?
Rawhide treats can be a fun chewing option for some dogs, but they should be given under supervision. Dogs that are aggressive chewers or have sensitive stomachs may benefit from alternative chew treats.
