FAQs

What are the best puppy dog treats?
There are lots of different tasty treats that you can give your puppy, but it’s important that, just like their regular food, they contain ingredients that are easy on their little tummies. Protein-rich white meats like chicken and turkey are great base ingredients for puppy treats, as well as veggies like sweet potato, pumpkin and added probiotics to help digestion. Treats should also be small and soft, to make sure they can be tackled by small puppy teeth and mouths.

Always ensure that the treats you choose in the first months at home are deemed puppy-safe, and always keep a close eye on your pup after feeding them something new, looking for signs of allergies or upset tummies.

Our range of treats covers a variety of diets and puppy tastebuds, using healthy and nutrient-rich ingredients that are perfect for peckish pups. These include:

When your puppy comes home, they’re likely going to be around 7-8 weeks old. At this point, treats are more than welcome as they help you build trust with your pup and set them up for training.

As 8-week-old puppies will have smaller mouths, baby teeth and sensitive tummies, treats should be small, soft, and with very basic ingredients. Before pups are old enough to chow down on specially formulated treats, raw vegetables like broccoli, carrots, beets and bell peppers make a great, healthy and puppy-safe alternative.

Treats for older dogs will be too rich, so making sure that the treats state that they’re suitable for puppies 8 weeks and older is vital. At the beginning, make sure treats are few and far between and always monitor your pup after giving them something new. Keep your eye out and contact your vet if any signs of allergies or digestive issues are present.
In their first few months, puppies explore the world with their mouths. But to make sure they’re not chewing on you or your furniture, there are plenty of things you can give them to safely gnaw on. Due to their sensitive tummies, you should opt for more natural chews for your pups, but you should always make sure they’re suitable for those tiny baby teeth.

Enrichment puppy toys are also a great alternative for puppies to chew on, especially when chewing stems from teething or boredom. These can either be chewable toys or ones that can be filled with tasty, puppy-safe treats.
Young puppies have brains like sponges, so they’re welcome to training from the get-go! Being very food motivated, treats are a great way to get your puppy’s attention when starting training, but it’s important to consider their sensitive tummies.

When training your puppy with treats, it’s best to use small treats, which can either be halved or quartered, as treats tend to come in thick and fast when teaching your pup their first tricks. Just to avoid any upset tummies, training treats should also have minimal ingredients that are known to be suitable for puppies.

Our Our iconic Pooch & Mutt Calming Probiotic Meaty Treats contain turkey, hemp and probiotics, as well as soft, easily quartered, and safe for puppies 12 weeks and up.
To work out how many treats you can give your puppy per day, you can use the 10% rule. This is where you work out your pup’s recommended calorie intake from their weight. Calculating 10% of their recommended calories, it gives you the amount of that should be taken up by treats.

So, if your pup’s recommended calorie intake is 150-200, they can have 15-20 calories worth of treats a day. Calorie intake is calculated via their weight, and these guidelines can be found in our puppy feeding guide.
