Yes, puppies can chew on dog treats, but it's important to choose the right kind of treats that are specifically designed for their young age and developmental stage. Just like dog food and puppy food, the treats you give your puppy should be nutritionally appropriate and safe for their growing teeth and digestive systems.

When selecting dog treats for puppies, look for options that are soft and easy to chew. Hard treats can be too tough for their developing teeth and can cause damage or discomfort. Additionally, make sure the treats are small enough for your puppy to manage without risk of choking.

It's also important to consider the nutritional content of the treats. Puppies have different dietary needs compared to adult dogs, so the treats should complement their puppy food, providing essential nutrients without overloading on calories.

Our grain-free formula ensures that your puppy isn’t exposed to potential allergens and fillers that can upset their delicate system.

Pairing these treats with Essential Foods puppy food will provide a balanced and nutritious diet, supporting your puppy's growth and health with no grains, extra omega-3s, higher protein levels, the B.O.F principle, high-meat content, and excellent palatability.
