How To Choose The Right Dog Treat

Treats can prove invaluable in rewarding positive behavior and in reinforcing behavior learned during training. They're also a fun, inexpensive way to show your dog you love him. When choosing a treat, be sure to consider:

• Intended use - if you plan to use treats during training, smaller treats are a good choice. They're quickly consumed and provide minimal distraction from training tasks.
• Frequency - if you plan to treat your dog often, consider smaller, lower-calorie treats which will help her stay slim.
• Age & Health - puppies often prefer smaller treats, and seniors with sensitive teeth often prefer soft treats. Dogs with food sensitivities/allergies can benefit from hypoallergenic treats.
• Pooch’s Preferences - treats are available in several different shapes, sizes, and flavors sure to fit your dog's unique tastes.
