Question 1

How many treats can I give my dog per day?

Accepted Answer

Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake. For a 50 lb dog needing 1,000 calories, that is about 100 calories in treats. Our calculator gives you a precise number based on your dog's size and activity level.

Question 2

Can too many treats make my dog overweight?

Accepted Answer

Yes, treats are a leading cause of canine obesity. Many commercial treats are calorie-dense, and exceeding the 10% rule regularly leads to weight gain. Use our calculator to stay within safe limits.
