What types 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 chewing, so monitor 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 large bones like femur bones a bit too big, and large dogs may try to consume medium-sized hard treats without chewing, while older pets with dental Disorders need softer chews, so it depends on your pet's size and eating behaviors.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the packaged product tightly sealed to maintain freshness. If you buy large bags, keep the unused product in an airtight container to maintain freshness and cleanliness.

Benefits
Oral and dental health for pets is very important for your pets. They cannot tell us when they are in pain, so regularly checking their gums and teeth is crucial. Chewing on Zeal® pet 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 don't care much about 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 their time consuming them.
How to use dog treats more effectively: The most effective way to use treats is to reinforce a calm and peaceful state. Do not use treats as a reward for an excited or hyperactive mental state. 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 there's no 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 through your behavior and body language, as your patience as an owner will pay off in a well-behaved pet. They will discover that a calm and reassuring approach yields results, as they sit and wait while looking at you in quiet anticipation. At the moment of calmness, offer them the treat. Do not use treats to reinforce an excited pet, but to reinforce the calm and peaceful state.
Feeding Guidelines
Do not overindulge in treats ~ Although it may be tempting when your furry partner begs for more, do not be too generous and keep treats within limits. Treats are meant to be a supplement to 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 maintain their health. Ideally, treats should not exceed 10% of your pet's daily caloric needs, so reduce regular meal portions to avoid weight gain, considering what they consumed from treats during training sessions in the day. This also applies to treats given as general rewards for good behavior. If you don't, your pet will slowly gain weight, and excess weight above the ideal harms your pet's health.
When consuming treats ~ We always recommend that your pet consumes treats under supervision, especially when trying a new treat. Some dogs (uncommon in cats) are overly enthusiastic when it comes to tasty bites and may not chew properly, which could lead to a choking hazard.
When to give treats to your pet ~ Between meal times is the ideal time to give 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.
