Should I give my dog treats every day?

This depends on your dog’s dietary requirements and their health status. Treats like daily dental chews and low-calorie training treats can be fed as part of your dog’s daily feeding regime as they are naturally low in fat and are only given at certain times of the day.

Natural dog treats such as chicken feet rabbits ears can also be fed in line with your dog’s diet, as they contain no artificial additives, plus the natural chewing action helps stimulate your dog and burn calories.

Does my dog need a daily dental chew?

If you don’t get the opportunity to brush your dog’s teeth on a daily basis; then feeding them a daily dental chew can help with their oral health. Chewing a dental chew will help them combat plaque and tartar between regular teeth cleaning treatments. We would recommend introducing a daily dental chew to your dog from a young age if you cannot brush their teeth daily, so it becomes part of their routine.

Should I use treats for training?

Positive reinforcement with treat based training can be a great way to help your puppy or dog learn. From simple commands, socialisation and recall, your dog can be treated when they do well, which will encourage them to continue their good work!

If you have questions about training, particularly reward-based training, you can speak to our pet experts on finding the ideal treat. Or head on over to the blog to read advice from our head trainer, Steph.
