Benefits

Oral and dental hygiene for pets is very important. They cannot tell us when they are in pain, so it is important to regularly check their gums and teeth. Chewing Zeal® treats helps remove plaque and tartar. It is also good to regularly brush your pet's teeth!

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 frequently. Ideal training treats are relatively soft and pea-sized. Pets are not very concerned with the size of the treat, but the quantity is what impresses them. Larger treats are suitable for rewarding good behavior, like large pieces, where your pet has to stop, chew, and take their time eating them.

How to use dog treats effectively: The most effective way to use treats is to reinforce a calm and submissive state. Do not use treats as a reward for an excited and overly stimulated mental state. Let your pet sniff the treat first, but lift it away from them and wait. Remember that pets, especially dogs, can smell from more than 5 meters away, so you do not need to place the treat under their nose. Once they sense the smell, dogs may initially jump, and even jump on you. If this happens, indicate your disapproval through your behavior and body language, your patience as an owner will pay off in a well-behaved pet. They will understand that calm, balanced approach achieves results, as they sit and wait while looking at you in calm anticipation. At the moment of calmness, offer them the treat. Do not use treats to reinforce an excited pet, but to guide them towards a calm and submissive state.

Feeding Guidelines

Do not overindulge in treats ~ Although it may be tempting when your pet begs for more, do not be overly generous and keep treats organized. Treats are meant to complement your pet's diet. As with us, excessive treats can cause weight gain and upset the balance of your pet's diet, which should be complete and balanced to maintain their health. Ideally, treats should not exceed 10% of your pet's daily caloric intake, so reduce regular meal portions to avoid weight gain, considering what they have consumed in treats during training sessions in the day. This also applies to treats given as general rewards for good behavior. If you do not, your pet will slowly gain weight, and excess weight will be detrimental to your pet's health.

When using treats ~ We always recommend that your pet consumes treats under supervision, especially when trying a new treat. Some dogs (which is uncommon in cats) are overly enthusiastic when it comes to tasty meals and may not chew properly, leading to a choking hazard.

When to give treats to your pet ~ Between meals is the ideal time to offer treats, not immediately 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 the treat quickly without even chewing it, so pay attention to all sizes and ages to ensure they can handle it without choking incidents. Cats usually chew the treat without trying to consume it in seconds. Small dogs may find fork bones, etc., a bit large, and large dogs may try to swallow medium-hard treats without chewing, while older pets with dental Disorders need softer chewing, so it is about assessing your pet's size and eating behaviors.
