They are unable to tell us when they are in pain, so it is important to regularly check their gums and teeth. Chewing on Zeal® treats will help remove plaque and tartar. It is also good to regularly brush your pet's teeth!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTreats 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 do not 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 time to eat them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to use dog treats effectively: The most effective way to use treats is to reinforce a calm and submissive state. Never use treats to reward an excited or 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 recognize 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 come to understand that a calm and cool approach yields results, as they sit and wait in quiet anticipation. In the moment of calm, give them the treat. Do not use treats to reinforce an excited pet, but command them to achieve a calm and submissive state.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not overindulge in treats\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ Although it may be tempting when your pet begs for more, do not be too generous and keep treats regulated. Treats are meant to complement your pet's diet. As with us, consuming too many treats can lead to weight gain, and it will also 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 the daily required calories for your pet, so reduce regular meal portions to avoid weight gain, taking into account 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's weight will slowly increase, and the extra kilograms above the ideal rate are harmful to your pet's health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegarding treats\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ 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 tasty pieces and may not chew properly, leading to a choking hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to give your pet treats\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ Between meals 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat types of treats are suitable for your dog's or cat's breed, size, and age?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 monitor all sizes and ages to ensure they can handle it without choking incidents. Generally, cats will chew the treat without trying to consume it in seconds. Small dogs may find large bones and the like a bit too big, while large dogs may try to swallow medium-hard treats without chewing, and older dogs with dental Disorders will need softer chewing, so it depends on your pet's size and eating behaviors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
