Who Grain-Free Actually Helps

• Dogs with a confirmed cereal or gluten sensitivity, and dogs on a controlled elimination diet
• It is not automatically healthier for a dog with no sensitivity
• A proper food trial run with your vet tells you far more than swapping between products on a hunch

Fruit In Dog Treats

• Fruit here is a flavour and a source of fibre rather than a nutritional headline. The base of the treat is still meat
• Worth knowing which fruits are never safe for dogs whatever the product: grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure, and the sweetener xylitol is dangerous in very small amounts
• Neither appears in this product, but both turn up in human snacks people share with dogs

What Semi-Moist Means

• Semi-moist sits between a dry biscuit and a wet food - around 24 per cent moisture in this range, which is what keeps the pieces soft and bendy
• That softness is the practical point. They squash into a pocket, they do not shatter into crumbs, and a dog can swallow one without stopping to chew, which is what you want mid-exercise
• It also makes them usable for puppies, for old dogs with worn or missing teeth, and for anything recovering from dental work

Using Them For Training

• Break each piece into three or four. A dog works just as hard for a crumb as for a whole treat, and you get three times the repetitions out of the bag
• Keep the pieces small enough to swallow instantly. A treat that needs chewing breaks the rhythm of a training session
• Vary what you hand over. A dog that knows exactly what is coming works less hard than one that does not

Good To Know

• This is a complementary feed - a treat, not a meal. It is not balanced to feed on its own
• Treats should be no more than about a tenth of what a dog eats in a day. Everything above that comes off the dinner, not on top of it
• For dogs. Treats formulated for dogs are not balanced for cats and should not be used as a routine cat snack
• Store somewhere cool and dry and reseal the pack after each use. Semi-moist treats dry out and go hard if the pack is left open
• Make sure fresh water is available at all times
