📊 Nutrition Notes
Chicken provides essential amino acids for puppy growth and muscle development. White rice is one of the most easily digestible carbohydrates, perfect for developing digestive systems. Together they provide balanced energy and protein.
💡 Tips
- Mince the chicken extra fine — puppies can't handle large pieces
- White rice is gentler than brown rice for young puppies
- These are great during the transition from mother's milk to solid food
- Keep treats small — puppy stomachs fill up fast
🐾 Puppy Note: These treats are designed for puppies 8 weeks and older. Always introduce new foods gradually and in small amounts. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your puppy's daily calories. If your puppy has any dietary restrictions, check with your vet first.
