Oral and dental health for your pets is very important. They cannot tell us when they are in pain, so regularly checking their gums and teeth is essential. Chewing ZIWI® treats will help remove plaque and tartar. It's also good to brush your pet's teeth regularly!
Treats for use in training sessions: Treats are a useful tool in the training process as they help keep your pet focused on you and the learning process, regardless of their age. For training purposes, treats should be small and easy to swallow, requiring little chewing so you can reward behaviors quickly and often. Ideal training treats are relatively soft and pea-sized. Pets are not very interested in the size of the treat, but the quantity is what they like. Larger treats are more suitable for rewarding good behavior, like large pieces, where your pet has to stop, chew, and take time to eat them.
How to use dog treats effectively: The most effective way to use treats is to reinforce a calm and obedient state. Do not use treats to reward an excited or overly stimulated mental state. Always let your pet sniff the treat first, but hold it away from them and wait. Remember that pets, especially dogs, can smell from more than 5 meters away, so you don't need to put the treat under their nose. Once they get the Scent, dogs may initially jump, and even jump on you. If this happens, indicate your disapproval with your stance and body language; your patience as an owner will pay off in a well-mannered pet. They will understand that a calm approach gets results, as they sit and wait, looking at you in quiet anticipation. In the moment of calm, give them the treat. Do not use treats to reinforce an excited pet, but to enforce a calm and obedient state.
Feeding Guidelines
Do not over-treat ~ Although it may be tempting when your pet begs for more, do not be too generous and keep treats organized. Treats are meant to complement your pet's diet. As with us, excessive treats can cause weight gain, and they will affect the balance of your pet's diet, which should be complete and balanced to keep them healthy. Ideally, treats should not exceed 10% of your pet's daily required calories, so regular meal portions should be reduced to avoid weight gain, considering what they have consumed in treats during training sessions throughout the day. This also applies to treats given as general rewards for good behavior. If you do not do this, your pet will slowly gain weight, and the extra kilograms over the ideal weight harm your pet's health.
Care with treats ~ We always recommend that your pet consumes treats under supervision, especially when trying a new treat. Some dogs (uncommon for cats) are overly "enthusiastic" when it comes to delicious treats and may not chew properly, leading to a potential choking hazard.
When to give your pet treats ~ Between meals is the ideal time to give treats, not directly before or after a meal. Choose a treat your pet enjoys. If you are using treats as a training tool, your treat will not work well after your pet has had a full meal.
What type of treats are suitable for your dog's or cat's breed, size, and age?
We recommend that your pet consumes treats under supervision, especially when trying a new treat. Many dogs tend to consume treats quickly without even chewing, so monitor all sizes and ages until you are sure they can handle it without choking incidents. Cats usually chew the treat without trying to consume it in seconds. Small dogs may find large bones, etc., a bit too big, and large dogs may try to swallow medium-sized treats without chewing, while older pets with dental Disorders need softer chewing, so it depends on your pet's size and eating behaviors.
