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 will help remove tartar and plaque. Regularly brushing your pet's teeth is also a good idea!
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 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 much interested in the size of the treat, but the quantity is what impresses them. Larger treats are more suitable for rewarding good behavior, like large pieces, where your pet has to stop, chew, and take time to consume them.
How to use dog treats more effectively: The most effective way to use treats is to reinforce a calm and obedient state. Never use treats to reward a state of excitement or overstimulation. Let your pet sniff the treat first, but hold it away from them and wait. Remember that pets, especially dogs, can smell from over 5 meters away, so you don't need to place the treat under their nose. Once the dogs catch the Scent, they may initially jump and move around you. If this happens, indicate your disapproval through your behavior and body language; your patience as an owner will pay off in a well-mannered pet. They will understand that a calm approach yields results, as they sit and watch you in silence. At the moment of calmness, offer them the treat. Do not use treats to reinforce an excited pet, but to enforce a state of calmness and obedience.
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 be a supplement to your pet's diet. As with us, excessive treats can cause weight gain and will affect the balance of your pet's diet, which should be complete and balanced to maintain their health. Treats should not exceed 10% of the daily required calories, so reduce regular meal portions 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, your pet will slowly gain weight, and the extra kilograms above the ideal will be harmful to your pet's health.
Treat wisely ~ We always recommend that your pet consumes treats under supervision, especially when trying a new treat. Some dogs (which is uncommon for cats) are overly enthusiastic when it comes to delicious treats and may not chew properly, leading to a choking hazard.
When to give your pet treats ~ Between meals is the ideal time to offer treats, not immediately before or after a meal. Choose a treat your pet will enjoy. If you are using treats as a training tool, your treat will not work well after your pet has had a full meal.
What types of treats are suitable for your dog 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 without even chewing them, so monitor all sizes and ages to ensure they can handle them without choking incidents. Cats generally chew treats without trying to consume them in seconds. Small dogs may find large bones and other large items a bit much, and large dogs may try to gulp down medium-hard treats without chewing, while older pets with dental Disorders need softer chews, so it is about assessing your pet's size and eating behaviors.
