Grain-Free Treats

Soft treats are appropriate with puppies and seniors who have sensitive teeth, crunchy treats are appropriate with a dog who loves to chew hard and chewy treats can entertain longer. Always examine the ingredient labels to see if they use the name of the source of the meat and not a general explanation.

Feeding Guidelines

In instances where treats are used a lot in training, then meal portions ought to be decreased to ensure the maintenance of a healthy weight. Always keep the store products in dry and cool places, not in direct sunlight and enable them to maintain their freshness and always remember to look at the expiration date before feeding.
