If you’re looking for chicken dog food and treats, you’ll quickly come across terms such as “natural”, “grain-free”, “low-fat” and “high-protein”. These descriptions don’t automatically mean a product is right for your dog, though. The best choice depends on the type of food, your dog’s life stage and size, and when you plan to use it.
Not every chicken product is suitable as your dog’s everyday main food. The packaging will tell you whether it’s labelled as complete pet food or complementary pet food. Chicken dog treats, chicken dog biscuits and chicken dog snacks are usually complementary. They’re intended as a reward, a little extra between meals or something to chew, and don’t replace a complete meal.
A high protein percentage doesn’t tell the whole story. Check the moisture, fat, fibre, calories and ingredients too. Wet dog food, for example, contains a lot of moisture, while dry dog food is more concentrated. As a result, a soft treat can have different nutritional values per 100 grams from a crunchy kibble.
Grain-free dog food may suit a particular preference or dietary need, but grain-free doesn’t automatically mean a product is better for every dog. Check the full ingredients list and make sure the product is suitable for your dog’s age, breed size and activity level. If your dog has a known allergy or a medical dietary requirement, it’s best to consult your vet.
For everyday meals, choose a product labelled as complete food. Use a complementary product, such as INABA Churu or soft chicken dog treats, within the recommended amount. Remember to include treats in your dog’s total daily calorie intake. A useful rule of thumb when giving lots of dog training treats is to keep rewards to around 10% or less of your dog’s daily energy intake.
A product for dogs of all breeds isn’t always practical for every dog. Small kibble and small chicken dog biscuits are more convenient for small breeds. Larger chews may be too big or too hard for a small dog. Check the age recommendation too, as some chews aren’t suitable for young puppies.
Soft treats and liquid rewards often contain more moisture than dry food. For example, INABA Fun Bites Dog Chicken Wraps Chicken with Sweet Potato list 82% moisture and have a soft texture. According to the product information, these treats should be refrigerated after opening and used within 24 hours.
