Small-dog treats make a great way to reward small-breed adult pups and training puppies alike. Specially sized for smaller mouths, dog treats for small dogs are easy for little pups to chew and made to deliver big flavor in each tiny bite. Some even include functional ingredients to help small breeds thrive. The treats' smaller size helps you control calorie intake, too, making it easy to maintain balanced nutrition. Small-dog treats come in a variety of wag-worthy flavors to suit every preference and need.
Chewy's selection of small-dog treats includes bite-sized training treats, soft chews, crunchy snacks, dental treats, and long-lasting chew treats that make it easy to show your pup how much you care. Suitable for small breeds like chihuahuas, Yorkies, dachshunds, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians, Bostons and Frenchies, they're perfect for training and everyday rewarding. Whether your pup likes bacon, peanut butter, meaty jerky, or fruits and veggies, we've got just the thing to keep them begging for more. Here are some things to consider when shopping for small-breed dog treats:
Treat size: Small-dog treats should be small or breakable to make them easy for your pup to eat.
Calories per treat: Small bites with just a few calories apiece make it easy to give frequent rewards without unbalancing your buddy's diet.
Chewing comfort and texture: Softer treats may be best for sensitive mouths and seniors, while crunchy options support chewing satisfaction.
Dietary needs: You can find small-dog treats to fit special dietary requirements, including grain-free, limited-ingredient, and veterinary diets.
Small-dog treats can support positive training and bonding when used thoughtfully and in moderation. Chewy has a wide selection of treats for all kinds of small dogs, so you should have no trouble finding your best friend's favorites. And once you find the ones that fit your pup's preferences and needs, be sure to set them to Autoship so that tail never stops wagging!
Small dogs need treats made specifically for them because they have smaller mouths and lower daily calorie requirements. Small-dog treats help support frequent rewarding without excess calorie intake, and right-sized treats and chews also help prevent the risk of choking.
You can give usually your small dog several treats a day, but check the product package for specific feeding guidelines. The ideal number of treats will depend on the product's recipe, size, and calorie count as well as your dog's weight, activity level, and overall diet. Ideally, treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake, so keep an eye on treat portions to ensure a well-balanced diet.
Some small dog treats can be broken into smaller pieces, while others come in mini bites for the perfect portion. If you want a customizable size for training, soft and chewy treats are usually the easiest to cut or break up. Check the product package for information on size and texture to help you choose.
