Include Dental Chews in the treat total as well.
WSAVA includes not just regular snacks but also chew treats in the category of treats, and they recommend keeping the proportion of treats below 10% of daily calories.[2] On days you give Goodnight Chew, add up treats from walks and anything given separately by family members. The exact daily calorie needs should be checked for each individual dog.
| Goodnight Chew sizes | Weight per piece | Calories per piece |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 5g | 20kcal |
| S | 10g | 40kcal |
| M | 15g | 61kcal |
| XL | 28g | 113kcal |
Example of calculation: Even if treat names are different, the total is one.
To show the calculation method, let’s assume the daily calorie requirement is 500 kcal. 10% of this is 50 kcal. In the example below, one S-sized treat is 40 kcal and a hypothetical training treat is 8 kcal, totaling 48 kcal. 500 kcal is not a recommended amount for a specific weight, and the training treat number is for calculation purposes. For an actual plan, use the calorie needs confirmed with a vet and the labeled values for each product.
| Treat record example | Calculation | Calories to add to the total |
|---|---|---|
| Goodnight Chew S | 40 kcal × 1 piece | 40kcal |
| Training Snacks | Assumption: 2 kcal × 4 pieces | 8kcal |
| Daily Total | 40 + 8 | 48kcal |
How to convert to our home record sheet
- Check your dog’s daily calorie needs and snack plan.
- First, choose the right size of Goodnight Chew.
- Check the calories per piece or per gram of other snacks.
- Write down who gave it, the time, and the actual number given.
To reduce calories, don’t automatically choose the smallest dental chew—first check weight guidelines and your dog’s chewing habits. It’s important to match size selection with the total daily snack amount. Goodnight Chew is not a meal replacement and should be given under supervision, as stated in the official instructions.[1]
Does the number of pieces on the bag mean the number of feeding days?
The quantities like XS 30 pieces, S 15 pieces are just the packaging. Don’t assume that it means one piece per day for all dogs during that period. After setting a suitable feeding plan for your dog, record the actual consumption to know when to repurchase.
Frequently asked questions before purchase
How do I calculate training treats on days I give Goodnight Chew?
Record the total calories of the dental chew and any other snacks given that day. Goodnight Chew is labeled as XS 20 kcal, S 40 kcal, M 61 kcal, XL 113 kcal, so calculate based on the actual size and amount given.
If a bag has 30 pieces, does that mean 30 days’ worth?
The number of packs and the appropriate feeding amount are different. Decide the daily snack amount based on your dog’s weight, activity level, main food intake, and other treats, and consult a vet if necessary.
