🐶 How Often Should You Really Be Giving Your Dog Treats?

🐶 How Often Should You Really Be Giving Your Dog Treats?

Apr 15

We all love giving our dogs treats, especially when they flash those puppy-dog eyes. But how many is too many?

Here’s a simple guide:

  • General Rule: Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake.

  • Training Days: If you're using treats for training, break them into smaller bits. Quantity counts, not size!

  • Size Matters: A Chihuahua doesn’t need the same portion as a Labrador. Adjust based on breed and weight.

  • Watch the Ingredients: Stick to low-fat, high-protein treats with minimal additives.

  • Routine Rewards: Use treats wisely to reinforce good behaviour – not just when they’re cute (which is always).

Too many treats can lead to weight gain and upset stomachs, so balance love with logic!
