🦴 Choosing the right treat for your dog
Treats are part of the daily routine for many dogs. When chosen well, they are a useful tool ; when chosen poorly, they can become useless or even problematic.
🐾 What is the purpose of a treat?
-
Rewarding good behavior
-
Facilitating education
-
Create a moment of pleasure and connection
✅ The right selection criteria
-
Simple composition : ideally a single animal source
-
No unnecessary additives (colors, sugars, flavor enhancers)
-
Adapted to the size of the dog
-
Suitable for its intended use (education or chewing)
⚠️ Avoid
-
Treats that are too rich are given too often
-
Products too harsh for a puppy or an older dog
-
Highly processed industrial sweets
💡 A treat should remain a supplement, not a substitute for food.
