Small dogs have delicate teeth and stomachs, so not every snack sold for dogs is appropriate for them. Because of their smaller jaws, some treats can be a choking hazard or cause digestive issues.
Opt for snacks specially designed for small breeds: mini training treats, freeze‑dried meat cubes, fish skin twists or small dental chews. Natural options like small pieces of apple or carrot, dehydrated chicken or rabbit ears can also be safe and nutritious.
Always avoid cooked bones, large rawhide or very hard chews that could damage their teeth or become stuck in the throat. Snacks high in fat or sugar should be limited, as small dogs can easily gain weight.
Introduce new treats slowly and observe your dog for any signs of intolerance. Provide plenty of fresh water and supervise them while they chew.
