Snack

When the term "snack" is used to describe an ingredient in dog food, it means that this ingredient is intended as a light, often small treat for dogs. Snacks for dogs are usually supplementary food that is given outside of regular meals, either as a reward, to keep them occupied or simply as a small treat.

Dog snacks can come in a variety of forms, such as cookies, chews, dried meat products or special treats for dental care. They are not intended as a complete meal, but rather as a supplement to the dog's daily diet.

It is important to make sure that the snacks are healthy and do not contain any harmful ingredients for your dog. Even though snacks are a good way to spoil your dog, you should pay attention to the quantity, as too many treats can lead to obesity and other health problems. The amount of snacks should remain within your dog's total daily calorie intake.
