Why do small dogs need treats made specifically for them?

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.

How many treats can I give my small dog in a day?

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.

Can small-dog treats be broken into smaller pieces?

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.
