What type of rewards are suitable for the breed, size, and age of your dog or cat?
We recommend that your pet consumes rewards under supervision, especially when trying a new reward. Many dogs tend to consume the reward without chewing, so monitor all sizes and ages to ensure they can manage without choking incidents. Cats generally chew the reward without attempting to consume it in seconds. Small dogs may find large bones, like leg bones, a bit overwhelming, and large dogs may try to swallow smaller rewards without chewing, while older pets with dental Disorders need softer chews, so it’s about assessing your pet's size and eating behaviors.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the packaged product sealed with a zipper 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 animals. They are unable to tell us when they are in pain, so regularly checking their gums and teeth is important. Chewing on Zeal® rewards will help remove plaque and tartar. It’s also good to brush your pet’s teeth regularly!

Rewards for use in training sessions: Rewards 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, rewards should be small and easy to swallow, not requiring much chewing so you can reward behaviors quickly and frequently. Ideal training rewards are relatively soft and pea-sized. Pets are not very interested in the size of the reward, but the quantity is what impresses them. Larger rewards are more suitable as rewards for good behavior, like large pieces, where your pet has to stop, chew, and take time to consume them.

How to use dog rewards more effectively: The most effective way to use rewards is to reinforce a calm and submissive state. Do not use rewards as a reward for an excited or overly stimulated mental state. Always let your pet sniff the reward first, but keep 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 reward under their noses. Once they get the Scent, dogs may initially jump and leap on you. If this happens, indicate your disapproval through your behavior and body language, as your patience as an owner will result in a well-mannered pet. They will understand that the calm approach is what leads to results, as they sit and wait while looking at you in calm anticipation. In the moment of calm, offer them the reward. Do not use rewards to reinforce an excited pet, but to guide the calm and submissive state.

Feeding Guidelines

Do not overindulge in rewards ~ Although it may be tempting when your furry pet begs for more, do not be too generous and keep the rewards organized. Rewards are meant to complement your pet’s diet. As with us, excessive rewards can cause weight gain and disrupt the balance of your pet’s diet, which should be complete and balanced to maintain their health. Ideally, daily rewards should not exceed 10% of your pet’s daily caloric needs, so regular meal portions should be reduced to avoid weight gain, considering what they consumed from rewards during training sessions in one day. This also applies to rewards given as general rewards for good behavior. If you do not do this, your pet will slowly gain weight, and excess weight above the ideal level is harmful to your pet’s health.

Wisdom of rewards ~ We always recommend that your pet consumes rewards under supervision, especially when trying a new reward. Some dogs (unusual for cats) are overly "enthusiastic" when it comes to delicious rewards and may not chew properly, leading to a potential choking hazard.

When to give your pet rewards ~ Between meals is the ideal time to offer rewards, not immediately before or after a meal. Choose a reward your pet will enjoy. If you are using rewards as a training tool, your reward will not work well after your pet has had a full meal.
