Wellness Soft Puppy Bites are tailored for young dogs, combining a soft, tiny format ideal for rapid reinforcement with nutrients formulated for development, making them the top choice when training puppies. They are slightly pricier versus generic training bits but provide a technical advantage for growth-stage animals that need DHA and balanced nutrition, so trainers will often reserve them for puppy sessions rather than high-volume adult training.
