We all want to make our pet friends happy - that's what dog treats are made for!
Meanwhile, some treats aren't great for small breeds - it might be hard for them to digest or even enjoy them.
Let's find out why it happens.
Size
Treats that are too large can be tough for smaller dogs to chew and swallow safely. They might even pose a choking hazard.
Hardness
Some treats are very hard, like bones or certain biscuits.
Smaller dogs might have trouble breaking them down, which could hurt their teeth or gums.
Calories
Smaller dogs need fewer calories than larger ones.
If the treats are too calorie-dense, they might gain too much weight, which can lead to health problems.
Ingredients
Some treats contain ingredients that can be hard for smaller dogs to digest or that might upset their stomachs.
Conclusion
For smaller dog breeds, it's better to choose treats specifically made for their size.
These treats are smaller, softer, and easier for them to enjoy safely.
Always check with your vet if you're unsure which treats are best for your little furry friend.
