Treats and chews can do more than make tails wag. They can support training, enrichment, dental habits, chewing needs, and bonding time.

The key is choosing the right treat or chew for your pet’s size, chewing style, preferences, and dietary needs.

Types of Treats

Training Treats

Training treats are usually small, soft, and easy to eat quickly. They work well for reward-based training, walks, classes, and practicing skills at home.

Crunchy Treats

Crunchy treats are great for everyday rewards and can be a good option for pets who enjoy texture and variety.

Freeze-Dried Treats

Freeze-dried treats are often made with simple ingredients and can be a great choice for pets with sensitivities or picky preferences.

Soft Treats

Soft treats are easy to break into smaller pieces and may be helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets who prefer a softer texture.

Functional Treats

Functional treats are made with specific wellness goals in mind, such as calming support, digestion, skin and coat, joints, or dental care.

Types of Chews

Natural Chews

Natural chews can help satisfy chewing instincts and provide enrichment. Examples may include bully sticks, collagen chews, cheek rolls, tendons, trachea, and other animal-based chews.

Long-Lasting Chews

For strong chewers, longer-lasting options can help keep pets busy. Always choose a chew that matches your pet’s size and chewing style.

Dental Chews

Dental chews are designed to help support chewing activity and oral care routines. They should be used as part of a broader dental care plan.

Choosing the Right Chew

Consider:

• Your pet’s size
• Chewing strength
• Ingredient sensitivities
• Calorie needs
• Supervision needs
• How quickly your pet eats chews
• Whether the chew is appropriately sized

Chew Safety Tips

Always supervise pets with chews. Choose chews that are appropriately sized, remove small pieces when needed, and avoid anything that feels too hard for your comfort level.
