The amount of nutrients your dog needs depends on his age, breed, activity level, current weight, and health. While many dog food packages show a guideline for how much your dog should eat, there’s no one-size-fits-all plan for feeding your dog. Your veterinarian is the best person to talk to in order to determine how much your dog should be eating. And remember, count the treats you give your dog when determining how much you are feeding him every day.

When training your dog, choose treats that are small and soft as well as delicious and healthy for your pet. Avoid using people food that as people food often contains additives and preservatives making it difficult for your dog to ingest.

Reward-based training is an effective dog-training method. When training your dog, make sure you use a delicious as well as wholesome treat to motivate your dog and keep him healthy.

Your dog deserves to be fed fresh, healthy food but if he or she is used to being fed kibble, it is important to make the transition slowly and methodically.

Training your dog benefits the dog in many ways. As you work regularly with your dog, you’ll understand her needs and personality better, and you’ll develop a strong relationship, especially if the training is based on positive reinforcement.

Just as we humans need to choose healthy treats for ourselves and eat them in moderation, we need to do the same for our dogs. Saint Rocco's handmade treats consist of 50% or more protein and are sweetened only with sweet potatoes and locally-grown honey. We are dog lovers and are committed to helping keep your dog healthy!
