Buying a bag of dog treats seems simple enough – until you have to choose between dog biscuits, soft dog treats, chews for dogs and dental sticks. An attractive packet doesn't always tell the full story. The size, the ingredients and the recommended amount determine whether a treat is truly right for your dog.
Watch out for three common pitfalls:
First, decide what you need the treat for. That way, you won't end up buying something that doesn't work in practice.
For training, small, soft pieces are ideal. You can give them quickly and your dog doesn't need to chew for long. Keep an eye on the total number of rewards per day. According to the product information, INABA Fun Bites contain 82% moisture and are intended as a treat or training reward. Their soft texture makes them suitable for hand-feeding.
Soft strips, such as Pedigree Schmackos, can also be broken into smaller pieces. Always check the feeding guidelines on the pack. The recommended amount varies depending on body weight and activity level.
Chews for dogs are designed to keep them occupied for longer. Think chew bones, sticks, or a firm outer layer with a softer centre. Always supervise your dog while they're chewing. The treat should match your dog's chewing strength and size.
The g'woon Dog Chew Bones Box 500g contains cereals, oils and fats, and animal by-products, including chicken. According to the product description, it contains no artificial colours or flavours. The manufacturer recommends giving the treat between meals and that no more than 10% of daily calorie intake should come from treats.
Dental sticks for dogs often have a ridged or special shape. This shape can make contact with parts of the teeth during chewing. According to Pedigree's own research, Dentastix help reduce tartar build-up, clean hard-to-reach teeth and support healthy gums.
Use these products according to the size guide. Pedigree Dentastix Medium is intended for dogs weighing 10 to 25 kg; the Maxi version is for dogs weighing 25 kg and over. A dental stick is a supplementary treat and not a replacement for regular dental check-ups.
Don't just look at the name "mini", "medium" or "large". Also check the stated body weight and the number of pieces. This is important for dog treats for small dogs, dog treats for medium dogs and dog treats for large dogs.
A multipack can be handy for daily use, but pay attention to the storage time. Some soft treats need to be kept in the fridge once opened and used within a limited period.
Look at the ingredients in order of weight. Pay attention to specific protein sources, such as chicken, beef or lamb, especially if your dog is sensitive to certain ingredients. Dog treats with chicken come in many varieties, from dried strips to soft bites.
According to the product information, INABA Chicken Wraps Chicken with Cheese contains chicken, water, tapioca starch, dried bonito, cheese and protein components. The product states a minimum of 22% crude protein, a maximum of 3% fat and a maximum of 72% moisture. Always check the label on the pack, as recipes or packaging information may change.
Dog treats are complementary pet food. They do not replace a complete meal. A practical guideline for several products in this selection is that treats should provide no more than 10% of daily calorie intake. Reduce the main meal if necessary.
Store dry dog biscuits in a cool, dry place and reseal the pack. Soft treats may need to be kept in the fridge after opening. Always provide fresh drinking water and stay nearby when your dog is chewing a firm treat.
Why this suits the profile: The 500 g box is practical for dog owners who want to give a chew regularly and like to check the ingredients and feeding advice beforehand.

We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
A common guideline is that treats should provide no more than 10% of daily calorie intake. The right amount depends on weight, age, activity level and body condition. Always follow the feeding advice on the pack and adjust the main meal if necessary.
Yes, soft treats are practical because you can give them quickly and often break them into smaller portions. Choose a size your dog can eat straight away and count all rewards towards the daily amount. According to the product information, INABA Fun Bites are recommended as a treat or training reward.
This varies by product. Dry treats should usually be stored in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed pack. Soft treats may need to be refrigerated after opening and sometimes used within 24 hours or a few days. Always check the date, batch information and storage advice on the original packaging.
