Treats should never exceed 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake<\/strong> \u2014 a rule most owners unknowingly break. A medium-sized dog (15kg) needs roughly 700-900 kcal\/day, meaning treats should total no more than 70-90 kcal. That’s why choosing low-calorie, nutrient-dense treats is essential, especially during training when you may give 30-50 treats per session.<\/p>\n\n\n
