Puppy Treat FAQs

Do treats make good gifts for puppies?

Most puppies are highly food motivated, so a tasty snack or soft morsel can be an excellent fit for a new puppy. They can be a great training tool and can help you bond with a new dog or puppy.

What are the best treats for puppy training?

Stick to small, soft, and highly palatable puppy training treats so that you can train more frequently and or longer. Choose limited ingredient and high-quality protein puppy treats to maximize flavour, nutrition, and keep training sessions engaging and rewarding.

How many treats can I give my puppy per day?

Treats shouldn't take up more than 10% of your puppy’s daily caloric intake. Always balance treats with their regular diet to avoid overfeeding. If you need to do more training, then try to use their food as treats when possible. This will prevent overfeeding and poorly balanced nutrition.

Are all dog treats safe for puppies?

Not all dog treats are puppy-friendly. Puppies have different nutritional needs and softer teeth, so it’s best to choose treats specifically formulated for young dogs. Be especially careful with hard chews and treats with supplements in them that puppies may not need.

Can puppy treats help with teething?

Yes! Some puppy treats are designed to be soothing for teething puppies. Look for options with gentle textures or natural ingredients that support gum health.

What ingredients should I avoid in puppy treats?

Avoid treats with artificial colours, flavours, and excessive fillers. Stick to high-quality ingredients like real meat, fruits, and vegetables for a healthier snack. The more natural the better.

Puppy treats are more than just tasty snacks—they're an essential tool for training, bonding, and rewarding good behaviour. Since puppies have sensitive stomachs and developing teeth, their treats should be made from high-quality, digestible ingredients with soft or easy-to-chew textures.

There are several types of treats tailored for puppies. Puppy training treats are small and low-calorie, to allow you to repeatedly reward appropriate behaviours. Puppies also love freeze dried training treats, making them easy to chew and packed with flavour.

Choosing the right treats can also help with puppy teething. Frozen treats or soft chews can soothe sore gums and encourage positive chewing habits.
