We all love giving our dogs treats, especially when they flash those puppy-dog eyes. But how many is too many?
Hereās a simple guide:
-
General Rule: Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dogās 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 doesnāt 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 ā not just when theyāre cute (which is always).
Too many treats can lead to weight gain and upset stomachs, so balance love with logic!
