pet treats

Rewards for pets

Pet treats are food items given to domesticated animals as rewards or snacks, distinct from regular meals.

They're used for training, bonding, or simply indulging a pet: She keeps treats in her pocket for training sessions.

The term usually implies something appealing to the animal—flavored, textured, or sized to feel special rather than routine.
