General information, not veterinary advice
The guides, answers and feeding tips on trainingbites.net are general information about dog treats. They are not veterinary advice, and they are not a diagnosis or treatment plan for any animal. Sniff & Shift LLC is a treat maker, not a veterinary practice, and nothing on this Site creates a veterinarian and client relationship.
Ask your vet about your own pet
Every animal is different. Before you feed these treats, talk with a licensed veterinarian if your pet:
- has a health condition, a sensitive stomach, or a food allergy or intolerance;
- is on a prescription or special diet;
- is a puppy, kitten, pregnant, nursing or a senior; or
- has never had a particular ingredient before.
Read the ingredients for every product
- Dairy. The cheddar bites are cheddar cheese. The bag label lists its ingredients as pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt and enzymes, so the bites are dairy and contain salt. The product page says they are not for dogs with dairy sensitivities. If your dog has trouble with dairy, do not feed them.
- 3-pack and Tire & Treats. The 3-pack is three bags of the same cheddar bites. The Tire & Treats set is a rubber tire toy packed with one bag of the same bites; the toy is not filled with treats. The same dairy note applies to both.
- Toys. The listing calls the tire toy durable rubber. It does not say it is chew-proof, so supervise your dog whenever it plays with the toy, check the toy for damage, and take it away if pieces come off.
We cannot promise that any treat is free of an ingredient that is a problem for your dog. If an ingredient is a problem for your dog, do not feed that treat.
Treats are a supplement, not a meal
These products are for treating and rewarding. They are not a complete and balanced diet. Keep treats to a small share of your pet's daily food and adjust meals if you give more treats. The package label lists the calories. Your vet can tell you what amount is right for your pet.
Feed with care
- Always supervise your pet while it eats a treat.
- Size the treat to the pet: break pieces into smaller ones for small dogs, and pick a piece size that suits your pet's size and chewing habits.
- Cheddar bites can be snapped into smaller bits. Make pieces tiny for training and small dogs, and keep portions modest.
- Keep fresh water available at all times.
- Introduce a new treat gradually, starting with a small amount, so you can see how your pet does with it.
- Reseal the bag after opening and store it cool and dry. The bag label also says to wash your hands after handling the treats.
- Stop feeding and contact your vet if you notice vomiting, diarrhea, itching, choking or any other change that worries you. In an emergency, call your vet or an emergency animal hospital right away.
Nutrition facts from outside sources
Where this Site mentions nutrition facts about a food in general, it cites a named public source, such as the American Kennel Club, the ASPCA or VCA Animal Hospitals. Those figures describe the food, not our treats specifically, and they are not a claim that any treat will prevent, treat or cure a condition.
