When it comes to caring for our puppies, providing natural and nutritious treats is essential. These treats not only offer health benefits but also help in training and rewarding good behaviour. Here's everything you need to know about giving natural treats to your puppy.
When Can a Puppy Have Treats?
Puppies can start having treats from 8 weeks old. Initially, opt for single-ingredient treats and small soft chews. As they grow, you can introduce puppy dental chews, larger soft chews, training treats, and cold-pressed treats. Always ensure that treats make up less than 10% of their daily food allowance.
Why Natural Dog Treats?
Natural dog treats are free from additives and preservatives, making them a healthier choice for your puppy. They offer several benefits:
- Stronger Immunity: Rich in proteins and essential nutrients.
- Improved Digestion: Free from artificial chemicals, making them easier to digest.
- Better Dental Health: Help in keeping teeth clean and gums healthy.
- Healthier Skin and Coat: Contain healthy fats and vitamins that promote a shiny coat and healthy skin.
- Less Allergies: Free from common allergens found in processed treats.
