Zuke's

Yes. Zuke’s puppy treats are some of their most popular recipes. These morsels are made for young dogs and contain DHA and EPA—supporting your pup’s brain development. Puppy treats from Zuke’s also have a lot of natural protein to help maintain your young dog’s energy level and promote lean muscle growth. Many of Zuke’s puppy treats are naturally grain- and gluten-free.

Zuke’s dog treats include natural protein as their #1 ingredient. This protein may be pork, beef, rabbit, salmon or chicken. Other common ingredients include peas, potatoes, chickpeas, blueberries and honey. Many recipes have no grains at all and will contain Vitamin A, E, Zinc and other essentials.

Zuke’s hip and joint support formula include 330 mg of Glucosamine HCL and 50 mg of Chondroitin Sulfate. The ingredients also include amino acids and minerals that are designed to aid in absorption. Talk to your vet about supplementing other treatments with these natural treats that may ease discomfort. Hip and joint problems are especially common in senior dogs.

Most veterinarians recommend limiting the number of treats you give your dog to 10% of your pet’s daily diet. Calculate how many calories your pet eats each day, and then distribute Zuke’s mini dog treats equal to 10% of their caloric intake. Sometimes—during training periods or during travel—you may give your dog a few extra treats. Zuke’s dog treats have natural ingredients and less filler than other dog treats and can be an excellent choice for your pup. Consult your veterinarian regarding any specific nutritional advice for your dog and follow the serving guidance on the package according to weight, age and size.

The combination of these ingredients encourages a calm demeanor in your dog without the need for prescription medication.
