•Dog biscuits are not suitable as a main meal. Feed them either as a supplement to ready-made dog food or to ring the changes.
•Take care that you do not give your dog too many biscuits. The number of biscuits you can feed your pet in any one day depends on your dog’s breed, age and temperament. Older, calmer dogs should, as a general rule, be given fewer biscuits than younger, active animals.
•The condition of your dog’s coat is a sure indication of whether his regular food and biscuits agree with him or not. A glossy coat, healthy skin with minimum flaking, a pleasant odour and firm stool in moderate quantities mean that you can rest assured that your dog’s diet agrees with its digestion.
•Some foods, such as grapes/raisins, onions, avocado, chocolate/cocoa, fruit kernels and uncooked pork are poisonous to dogs. Especially in the case of smaller dogs, even small quantities can pose a health hazard or even cause death. Other foods, such as garlic, for instance, can also have a toxic effect but only if fed in large quantities or regularly over a period of time. Please always read the tips, which contain supplementary information to the individual recipes!
•If you prefer to give your dog softer biscuits, bake at a temperature 10 °C lower than the one given in the recipe.
•Follow the appropriate storage instructions as outlined in the respective recipe. If you find mould on any of the biscuits, however, throw them all away, even those which appear to be mould-free.
