Modern dog treats come in a wide variety, from natural bones, skins and other dried animal parts and organs to cookies in different flavors. Although dogs usually eat such food quite enthusiastically and rarely refuse a tasty morsel, it is still recommended not to overdo it with treats.

When to give treats to dogs?

Each owner knows best what their dog likes, but not all products that their pet likes can be given every day. For this reason, it is recommended to give treats only in certain cases. For example:

- When teaching or training a dog, when it listens or behaves properly;

- When you need to get the dog's attention;

- When teething, harder treats are given to help the puppy scratch its gums, and some treats help remove plaque from the teeth;

- There are treats whose composition is supplemented with vitamins, minerals and other beneficial microelements for the body. They can be given as immunity-boosting supplements that are suitable for both small puppies and adult dogs.

- Treats are often used when trying to give pets oral or oral medications that they refuse to eat directly.

- Small puppies can be encouraged with treats for each new achievement, such as going to the toilet, following a command or other action.

Types of dog treats

The entire range of treats can be divided into several main types, depending on what they are intended for:

1. Traditional or used as an incentive for dogs in everyday activities or during training for well-executed commands - all types of small snacks, cookies, small strips are suitable here.

2. Preventive treats designed to maintain a pet's well-being and health. These are all treats and natural products for teeth and gums, as well as treats with vitamins.

3. Specialized or intended for dogs with allergies.

4. Grain-free - suitable for dogs with sensitive digestive systems. This is often a diet food, without any additives. They are used in cases of treatment and prevention.

When choosing treats for your pets, you should pay attention not only to the ingredients of the products, but also to the height, weight, age and breed of the animal you have. The larger the dog, the more useful nutrients it needs to ensure healthy functioning of the body. As a result, the packages and the treats themselves are larger and have a higher energy value. Smaller treats will suit pets of smaller breeds. Young puppies should be given as nutritious bites as possible, and during the period of teething – something that will help distract attention from the owners' furniture and shoes, which will help to scratch their gums.
