What is a "treat"?

A treat is a special type of food given to pets as a reward, snack, or occasional indulgence. It is usually smaller or more flavorful than regular pet food and can be used to reinforce good behavior, train pets, or simply show affection. Treats come in various forms, such as biscuits, chews, or soft snacks, and may contain different ingredients depending on the pet's dietary needs. While treats are enjoyable for pets, they should be given in moderation to maintain a balanced diet and prevent overfeeding.
