Anyone who lives with a dog or cat knows that the sound of a package is enough to arouse curiosity. Snacks are often part of some of the happiest moments in our routine: they are a way of showing affection, celebrating expected behavior, making training more fun or simply offering a treat to those who are always by our side. Precisely because they are so present in everyday life, they also raise doubts among tutors. Is there a snack best suited for each situation? How do you know if a product is really of quality? Is it worth choosing just for the flavor or does the composition also deserve attention? These are common questions for those looking to offer the best to their four-legged companion. The good news is that finding these answers is not complicated. Today there are snacks developed for different moments, needs and even species, with specific characteristics that go far beyond shape or flavor. Understanding these differences is the first step to making more conscious choices and enjoying every reward, game or moment of connection with your pet. Are all snacks the same? The answer is no. Although many products have the same purpose — to please or reward your pet — they can present important differences in composition, texture and even the way they are consumed. Therefore, before choosing a snack, it is worth looking beyond the taste and understanding the purpose of each product. It is also important to observe the composition and quality of the proteins present in the recipe. Today, there are options developed for different moments in the routine, which combine selected ingredients, nutritional value and practicality for owners and pets. This is the concept of Wanpy, an international brand of snacks for dogs and cats officially imported by Pet7 in Brazil. Its recipes are made with real meat, quality proteins and selected ingredients, in addition to including lines without artificial colors and preservatives. The portfolio brings together different flavors, textures and formats to transform rewards, games and small treats into even more special moments for friends and family. When is it worth offering a snack? There is no single ideal moment. Snacks can accompany different situations in the pets' routine: as a reward during the training of new commands, to reinforce positive behavior, transform a veterinary appointment or a walk into a more peaceful experience, encourage games and environmental enrichment activities or simply create a moment of affection between the owner and his companion. When chosen according to the occasion, they make these experiences even more pleasurable. Therefore, Wanpy developed different categories of snacks to meet each of these moments. The Creamy line, creamy textured snacks available for dogs and cats, are a good option to strengthen the interaction between owner and pet. They can be offered in portions directly from the packaging, spread on licking mats — prolonging the activity and stimulating environmental enrichment — or used on top of the food to add more flavor. The line also offers different packaging sizes. For cats, there are packages with 5, 25 or 50 tubes, in addition to the pot with 40 units. For dogs, packages of 5 tubes and pots of 40 units are available. Another option is 90 g sachets with a reusable lid, which allow the rest of the product to be stored for up to 24 hours if the owner prefers to portion the snack and extend the experience. With a creamy texture, Wanpy's Creamy snacks make rewarding moments even more special. Pet7. Among the different flavors available, there are options such as chicken, duck, salmon with chicken and chicken with cheese for dogs. For cats, there are recipes such as tuna, chicken, tuna with salmon, tuna with shrimp, tuna with cod and tuna with crab, among other combinations. When the idea is to quickly reward a behavior during training, snacks in smaller portions come into play, such as cookies and strips, which make it easier to offer them without interrupting the activity. Dogs and cats have different needs Although they both enjoy snacks, dogs and cats have very different eating behaviors, which also influences the choice of product. In the case of felines, one of the most well-known challenges is low water intake. Therefore, moist snacks can be interesting allies to complement your eating routine. Wanpy offers, in addition to the Creamy line, the Sopinhas line, which are protein broths in flavors such as duck, salmon with tuna and chicken with pumpkin and carrot. They can be offered alone or mixed with dry food, helping to make food more attractive and encouraging water consumption. Wanpy soups combine flavor and practicality, helping to stimulate cats' fluid intake. Pet7. Cats also have options with different textures, such as Freeze Dried cod, produced with 100% natural ingredients and subjected to the freeze-drying process, which preserves much of the food's natural nutrients, in addition to the Oven Roasted line, available in formats such as mini hearts and strips, designed for small rewards throughout the day. For dogs, variety also appears in the way the treats are prepared and in the proteins used in each recipe. In addition to the sachet options, Wanpy also offers the Freeze Dried and Oven Roasted lines. There are recipes with chicken, duck, lamb, deer, cod and other combinations, allowing you to alternate flavors without compromising the quality of the ingredients. Another option is premium biscuits, available in storage-friendly packaging, which help maintain crunchiness and practicality on a daily basis. Among the flavors are combinations such as chicken with apple and milk with cheese, expanding the reward possibilities for dogs of different sizes.
