Choosing dog treats is not simply a matter of picking the most colourful packet or your pet’s favourite flavour. From training treats and dental chews to treat-dispensing toys, the uses and precautions can vary considerably.
Three mistakes come up time and again, both in shops and online:
The right approach? Consider the ingredients, format and frequency of use alongside your dog’s actual needs.
Start by checking for the wording “complementary food for dogs”. This means that the treat is added to your dog’s usual daily ration. The amount given should be adjusted to the animal’s weight, age, activity level and main diet.
Next, check the ingredients list, which is shown in descending order by weight. A chicken or cheese recipe does not necessarily mean that these ingredients make up the majority. The product information for the VITAKRAFT Pure Dog Treats Chicken, for example, states that it is based on beef hide, with 4% chicken and 4% cheese powder. However, always check the packaging you receive, as recipes may change.
If your dog has a sensitive stomach or suffers from allergies, also check for cereals, dairy products, fats and additives. Natural dog treats can be a good option, but the word “natural” is never a reason to skip reading the label carefully.
For dog training treats, choose small formats that are easy to break and quick to eat. Mini beef and cheese biscuits will generally be more practical during a repeated training session than a long chew stick.
Soft treats, such as INABA chicken dog treats, are well suited to frequent rewards. However, their high moisture content means you must follow the storage instructions once the pouch has been opened.
Dental sticks and other chew products require extra care. Chewing should take place under supervision, with fresh water close by. A dog that swallows a hard treat whole will not use it in the same way as an animal that takes the time to chew it.
The manufacturer’s size guidance is an essential starting point. The Pedigree Dentastix products shown here are available for several sizes: one reference is aimed at medium-sized dogs weighing 10 to 25 kg, while another is intended for small adult dogs, approximately 3.2 to 10 kg according to the product information.
For a puppy, always check the recommended minimum age. Some Dentastix products can be given from 4 months old, whereas versions intended for small dogs may not necessarily be suitable for puppies. Puppy treats should remain small, easy to chew and given without exceeding the recommended daily quantities.
The choice of a treat-dispensing toy also depends on your dog’s jaw size and temperament. A rubber model designed for a small animal will not necessarily withstand the attention of a large, powerful chewer.
Why this product suits this profile: Its small format fits easily into early dog training sessions and makes it easy to portion out rewards without giving your dog a large piece every time.
The product information describes it as a complementary food for young dogs and recommends adjusting the quantity to the dog’s size and activity level.
Small format, beef and cheese flavours, 140 g pouch and detailed analytical constituents on the product page.
Why this product suits this profile: The four recipes and individual 12 g portions make it easy to vary the flavours, ideal for owners who like to switch things up.
The individual portions reduce exposure to air after opening. The product information recommends storing the product in the fridge and using any opened pouch quickly.
Four chicken recipes, soft texture, 16 x 12 g pouches and a stated moisture content of 68%.
Why this product suits this profile: This treat-dispensing toy is suitable for small dogs and households looking to keep their pet occupied with an interactive activity using dry or wet food.
Its 17.8 × 5.1 cm dimensions are designed for small dogs. However, supervision remains essential; replace the toy as soon as it shows signs of wear.
Natural rubber, can be filled with kibble or treats, dishwasher-safe and suitable for use in the freezer.

Dental sticks for dogs, such as Pedigree Dentastix, should be given at the frequency specified by the manufacturer. According to studies and information supplied by the brand, their X-shaped design and texture may help limit tartar build-up when used as recommended. These claims come from the manufacturer and do not constitute a medical guarantee.
A nylon dog chew, such as the Nylabone Dura Cheese Bone, is suitable for dogs weighing up to 23 kg according to the product information. It is not an edible treat: inspect it regularly and remove it as soon as it becomes damaged.
To keep your dog occupied at home, you can gradually fill a treat-dispensing toy. Start with food that is easy to retrieve, then gradually increase the level of difficulty. Supervision is still important, especially with a puppy or a dog that chews vigorously.
It depends on the dog’s weight, age, activity level and usual daily ration. If you give lots of rewards, slightly reduce the amount of food served at mealtimes. For INABA products, the product information recommends that treats account for no more than 10% of the daily calorie intake.
Yes, provided the packaging confirms that the product is suitable for the puppy’s age and that the piece is an appropriate size for its build. Puppy treats should remain small, easy to chew and given in moderation. Also check any restrictions specific to dental products.
Seal dry products carefully and store them in a cool, dry place. Wet recipes, such as some chicken dog treats, should generally be refrigerated after opening and used quickly, in accordance with the instructions on the label.
