How to Choose the Right Treats for Your Dog: Age, Needs, and Personality

When it comes to treating your dog, one size doesn’t fit all. A puppy’s needs are very different from a senior’s. Some dogs have sensitive stomachs, while others can handle just about anything you throw at them. And then there are the picky eaters, the power chewers, and the delicate nibblers.

At Lickety Sniff, we’ve designed our natural treat bundles to make choosing easy — no matter your dog’s age, diet, or personality. Here’s how to pick the perfect treats for your pup.

1️⃣ By age: puppy, adult, senior

Puppies: Need softer, smaller chews to protect growing teeth. Look for treats that are gentle yet satisfying, like lamb ears and gourmet sticks.

Adults: Can handle tougher chews that help clean teeth and keep them busy, like beef trachea, chicken necks, and lamb strips.

Seniors: Often benefit from softer options that are easy on aging teeth and joints, like fish skins and pure sticks — plus joint-friendly collagen-rich chews.

2️⃣ By dietary needs: sensitive, hypoallergenic, adventurous

Sensitive tummies: Go for single-protein, easily digestible options. Our Sensitive Tummy Pack is perfect.

Hypoallergenic: If your dog has known allergies, choose treats with novel proteins and no grains or additives.

Adventurous eaters: Variety packs keep them engaged and happy with new tastes and textures every time.

3️⃣ By personality: chewer, grazer, or gentle

Power chewers: Need long-lasting, tough chews to keep them busy and prevent destructive chewing.

Snackers: Prefer smaller, quick treats they can enjoy often.

Gentle eaters: Softer treats that are easy to nibble make them happy and comfortable.
