It’s no secret that we love making dogs happy—whether it’s that extra tail wag or the excited spin before snack time. But just like us, dogs thrive on balance and moderation.
Here’s what you need to know about portioning out our Wag Ranch Ostrich Meat Sticks to keep your pup feeling great:
- Remember the 10% Rule
Veterinarians generally advise that treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. The rest should come from their regular, balanced diet. So, if you’re tempted to shower your dog with extra treats, keep this guideline in mind for a healthier overall lifestyle. - 25 Calories Per Stick
Each Wag Ranch Ostrich Meat Stick contains about 25 calories. For small dogs or those in training, consider cutting the sticks into smaller, bite-sized pieces. This way, you can reward good behavior more frequently without overdoing it on the calories. - Every Dog Is Different
Just like people, dogs vary in size, metabolism, and activity level. Observe your dog’s weight, energy, and overall health to gauge whether you’re hitting the sweet spot or need to scale back on the treats. - Don’t Replace Regular Meals
Even though our meat sticks are made with premium, all-natural ingredients, they’re not a substitute for a nutritionally balanced meal. Treats are exactly that—a treat! - Check with Your Vet
Unsure about the right amount for your four-legged friend? Consult with your veterinarian to tailor a treat plan that aligns with your dog’s specific needs.
By following these tips, you can keep your dog’s taste buds (and tail!) happy without compromising their health.
After all, nothing beats knowing you’re giving them the best—both in flavor and in good nutrition.
Happy treating!
