Why the Right Snacks Make a Difference
Snacks are more than just a reward — they're a way to reinforce positive behaviour and strengthen the bond with your dog. But not all snacks are created equal. Here are 5 essential tips for making the best choice.
1. Check the Ingredients
Opt for snacks with natural ingredients and a short list. Avoid artificial colourings, preservatives, and added sugars. The simpler, the better for your pet's health.
2. Suit the Dog's Size
A large snack can be dangerous for a small dog. Always choose snacks appropriate for your pet's size to avoid choking hazards.
3. Consider Specific Needs
Older dogs, those with dental problems, or allergies need specific snacks. Consult your vet if you have any doubts about your pet's diet.
4. Pay Attention to Calories
Snacks should not account for more than 10% of your dog's daily calories. Even healthy ones, in excess, can cause weight gain.
5. Prefer Functional Snacks
There are chews that, in addition to being tasty, help with dental cleaning, improve digestion, or strengthen joints. Two in one!
