6 meat rewards, each counted in kcal.
The meat recipes from the 2025 DogMealPlan treats, in grams, for training: what one piece carries and how long a batch keeps. A reward comes out of the day's food, never on top of it. No biscuits, no flour, no fruit.
- 6 rewards
- Meat only
- kcal a piece on every one
A reward is for moving him, given after he is calm, not for settling him or for boredom. The simplest one is a few pieces of the day's boiled chicken, set aside before the meal. On a training day the bowl is a little smaller.

The method
How a treat is counted
Nothing is held back for treats. A reward comes out of the day's food, never on top of it, so the pieces given on a training day come off the bowl.
Every ingredient is weighed in grams and counted from the same food tables as the bowl. A spice or herb under 2 g is weighed but not counted; it moves a batch by less than 1%.
The batch is cut into a set number of pieces, so one piece is the batch's kcal divided by that number. Baking dries a treat out; it doesn't change its kcal.

The kitchen's rules
Before the first batch
- One new treat at a time, and watch the stool for two days before the next.
- No salt, no sugar, no flour, and nothing from a packet.
- Meat, fish and egg treats that are soft inside keep 3 to 4 days in the fridge, the USDA's limit for cooked leftovers, and never sit out. Freeze the rest of the batch the day you bake it.
- Label the box with the day you baked.
- Never, in any reward: chocolate, grape, raisin, onion, garlic, xylitol, macadamia, avocado, avocado-pit. The toxic foods record has why.
The small print
- These rewards haven’t been reviewed by a veterinary nutritionist. The kcal is arithmetic from food tables, not a lab measurement of a baked batch.
- The piece counts assume the batch is cut evenly. Cut bigger, and each piece carries more.
- A dog on a prescription diet, or with diabetes, pancreatitis or kidney disease, should have its rewards cleared with a vet.
