How Treats Requirement Changes With Age In Dogs?

Posted by BingoPetTreats on August 1st, 2017

The right nutrition and treats are necessary for better canine health and temperament.  Pet are given treats either for reward training or to appreciate good behaviour, while mostly it is for no particular reason other than feeding the loved creatures with the best treats.  Requirement of treats changes during the process of growing up. Appropriate treats at the right age can help dogs lead a healthy existence. Take a look at the subtle differences in treats at various ages of dogs.

Puppies

Puppies are bundles of energy, extremely naughty, adorable, and most importantly, nothing but little babies. They need attention more than anything, and the best way to keep the puppies engaged is the right chew!  Not only does this keep them engaged, it actually helps better breeding and social behaviour.

This is the stage where they nip hands, feet, shoes and clothing. Chewing bones redirects the focus of the puppy and satisfies their need to chew and bite. It also helps in strengthening jaws and helps in building stronger teeth. If the chew sticks appear to be a little tricky for the little pups, homemade treats can be considered, though it is best to offer vet certified pet treats from specialist dog food suppliers.

Soft, chewy treats are great for puppies. Available in a variety of flavours, shapes and sizes, these treats are useful during training of puppies due to their pleasant taste. Small sizes during training can fetch immediate gratification. Be sure to choose brands that meet the high standards. 

Adult dogs

In this stage, the adult dogs develop a habit of chewing for relieving boredom and stress. Dog treats should be healthy and should also be able to supplement dogs normal diet with added health benefits.Crunchy Treats are one of the types of chew recommended for adult dogs as it gives a long-lasting flavour and crunchiness for the dogs to enjoy for prolonged time. Jerky treats are made especially for dogs who prefer taste and available in a variety of forms such as meat, liver, poultry and seafood.

Dental chews and bone-like treats are not made from animal bones, and experts insist that they promote dental health. Normally during the adult stages, a dog can digest almost anything due to strong bile secretion, so choosing the right treat will not be a big problem.

Senior dogs

When dogs get older, their activities slow down, and the requirement of energy also reduces. This is a sign to give them softer dog treats especially if their digestive system gets weaker and they display problems in their teeth. Few treats can be considered like cookies, fruits and natural quality dog food that is soft enough for dogs that will provide the nutrition needed.

Regardless of the age or stage of dogs, the pets will always remain dear owners who would never miss an opportunity to abundantly shower pets with treats. To make choices easier, wide varieties of treats are available in the market to choose from, ranging from high-quality expensive treats to fast and easy cheap treats.  Pets show unconditional love and it is necessary that it is reciprocated through all possible means.
