Giving your dog treats everyday is OK if you adhere to a few important guidelines.
Treats should complement the main diet without displacing it, typically making up no more than 10% of your dog’s total daily calories.
It’s crucial to choose high-quality treats that align with your dog's nutritional needs. Regularly offering treats can also be a great way to reinforce positive behavior and strengthen your bond.
However, monitoring your dog's overall caloric intake and adjusting meal sizes accordingly is essential to prevent weight gain.
The recommended amount of Nutreats to feed your pet each day varies depending on their weight, but should not constitute more than 10% of your pet’s diet.
We recommend using treats to reward good behaviour, or as an occasional treat. Check the back of the packs for more info.
Dog trainers use treats that are highly palatable, small, and easy to consume quickly so as not to distract the dog from the task at hand.
These treats typically have a strong aroma to capture and maintain the dog's interest during training sessions. Many trainers prefer using small bits of freeze-dried meat because they can be eaten quickly and don't crumble, leaving less mess.
Additionally, trainers often opt for low-calorie treats to ensure that the dog can receive multiple rewards during a training session without overindulging.
Treats you should avoid giving your dog include those that contain harmful additives like artificial colors, flavors, or excessive amounts of sugar and salt.
It's also wise to steer clear of treats that are hard and might cause dental damage, especially for older dogs. Ingredients such as chocolate, xylitol (a common sweetener in sugar-free products), grapes, raisins, onions, and garlic are toxic to dogs and should always be avoided.
Additionally, ensure that any treat you give your dog is appropriate for their size and chewing capabilities to prevent choking hazards.
