FAQs
Are WAITA Freeze Dried Chicken Hearts suitable for puppies or kittens?
Yes, they are suitable for pets over 3 months of age. Always monitor your pet while they consume treats and ensure they are appropriate for their age and chewing ability.
Can these treats be given to pets with allergies?
These treats are a single ingredient (chicken heart) and free from common allergens like grains, dairy, and soy. However, if your pet has a known chicken allergy, you should avoid this product.
How many treats should I give my pet per day?
The recommended feeding guide is based on your pet's weight: ≤5kg (1–2 treats/day), 5–12kg (2–4 treats/day), and ≥12kg (4–6 treats/day). Adjust based on your pet's individual needs and activity level.
What is the shelf life of the product?
The unopened shelf life is 18 months. Once opened, it should be consumed within 4–6 weeks.
Why are freeze-dried treats better than other types?
Freeze-drying is a gentle process that removes water while preserving the natural nutrients, flavor, aroma, and color of the original ingredient, without the need for artificial preservatives.
How should I store the treats after opening?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
Can I use these as a primary food source?
No, WAITA Freeze Dried Chicken Hearts are intended as a treat or food supplement, not as a complete and balanced diet.
Troubleshooting
Treats appear dry or dusty
This is a characteristic of the freeze-drying process which removes moisture. Ensure the bag is properly sealed to minimize further drying. Crumble over meals if dust is a concern.
Pet is not interested in the treat
Introduce the treat slowly. Try offering it as a topper on their regular food or use it during highly engaging training sessions to associate it with positive experiences. Some pets may need time to adjust to the texture.
Treats lose their aroma
Ensure the packaging is always resealed immediately after use. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity which can degrade the natural aroma.
