Treats are a supplementary food and a reward, not a main meal. The figures in the table are a daily guideline, not a target to reach. Include the treats in the total daily ration and adjust the amount to your dog's size, activity level and body condition. Give them under supervision and in pieces that suit your pet. Fresh water should be available at all times.
How to store the pack
Keep the pack in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Close it tightly after each use, and use up an opened pack as soon as possible.
