Zukes – Mini Training Treats

Zukes mini dog treats are a must for new Pomsky owners. They are small enough that you don’t overfeed your puppy, but tasty enough that your Pomsky will be wanting more. These are the treats I use for training, perfect for grabbing a handful to last for 10-15 minutes in a training session. You can see all of our recommended treats in our blog Best Dog Treats For The Pomsky Breed.

We highly recommend Zukes mini dog treats. They are small enough that you don’t over feed your puppy, but tasty enough that your Pomsky will be wanting more. These are the treats I use for training, perfect for grabbing a handful to last for 10-15 minutes in a training session.

These will get you the most bang for your buck, these are the treats I use.

Here is Zuke’s description: Perfectly sized for use as a training reward, these tasty treats let you congratulate him for a job well done whenever the timing is right. Each variety of Zuke’s Mini Naturals dog treats is made with high-quality protein, wholefood berries and savory herbs with no corn, wheat or soy, so you make your canine companion’s taste buds sing at snack time.

Here is what one of our breeders had to say about Pomsky treats: For treats, the most important factor to me is size. We clicker train, and a ‘morsel’ treat for a small pomsky puppy is typically VERY small- about half the size of a lentil! Treats that are either already very small, soft enough to break up easily, and don’t crumble to treat-dust are a hit with us! Zukes Mini Naturals are one brand that we use fairly regularly, as well as freeze-dried liver and chicken breast, tiny silvers of string cheese, and canned pate-style dog food in a tube that allows us to squeeze out just a tiny lick as a reward.

Vanessa of Archangel Pomsky also recommends Zukes. Here is what Vanessa had to say about Pomsky treats:

At ArchAngel Pomskies we use zukes mines, and pet botanicals for our main training treats, they are just the right size to do a training session.

Purina – Pro Plan Focus

One of the most common question we are asked by new Pomsky owners is “What food should I buy for my Pomsky?” We recommend Purina Pro Plan Focus. This recommendation comes from a POA breeder. Here is what they had to say about the Pomsky Diet: My fall-back brand is Purina Pro Plan Focus – their new line of foods that came out in the last year or so is incredibly well backed by research and really well-liked by people I respect. The best food for a Pomsky is a food that works for that individual Pomsky. The most important factor to me is a dog food with a solid, meat-protein-focused ingredient list that I can purchase consistently that comes from a company with good quality control- no companies who outsource their food production for me! There are some breed-specific concerns with some Siberians (zinc deficiency) but they’re rare even in Sibes, so while pet owners should be aware, they shouldn’t rule an owner’s choices.

The breeder further clarified that there is no one single best food. She said: The best food for a Pomsky is a food that works for that individual Pomsky.
