Best treats for a 10-week-old French Bulldog

At 10 weeks your French Bulldog puppy's digestive system is still very immature, so this is exactly the moment to be careful about what goes in. The best treats are high in real protein, free from artificial additives, and genuinely small — not just broken-up adult treats. Single-ingredient options like tiny pieces of dried chicken are usually ideal, but for a puppy this young you also want something soft enough not to be a choking risk. Many popular puppy treats are mostly cereals and flavouring, which is worth knowing. Can you tell me — does your puppy have any known sensitivities or allergies, and what are you planning to use treats for at this stage? Training, the occasional reward, or just getting them used to the idea of treats?

Perfect — training treats for a 2kg puppy need to be very small, soft, and low enough in calories that you can use a lot of them in one session without upsetting her stomach. Frenchies can also have sensitive digestion as a breed, so keeping the ingredient list short matters even more. My recommendation is Lily's Kitchen Puppy Treats — specifically their 'Smoochy Poochy' range. They're made with real chicken or salmon, no artificial preservatives, and they're soft enough for tiny puppy teeth. Crucially they're small enough to use whole for a 10-week-old, which means you're not handling crumbling bits during training. One pack goes a long way at her size.

Good instinct to ask. At 10 weeks, treats should make up no more than 10% of her daily calorie intake — which at 2kg is not many. For something like the Lily's Kitchen treats, that's roughly 3 to 5 treats total across the day. In a training session, use the tiniest piece that still gets her attention — you can snap them into halves or thirds. The goal is the reward signal, not the volume of food. If you're doing several short crate or toilet training sessions in a day, spread them out rather than burning through them all at once, and reduce her main meal slightly on heavy training days.

Around 12 to 16 weeks you can start introducing slightly more substantial soft chews, but I'd wait until closer to 4 months before anything that requires real gnawing. Frenchies have a compact jaw structure and puppies have deciduous teeth that can be damaged by hard chews. When you do introduce chews, go for something like a thin dried chicken strip or a soft bully stick rather than rawhide or compressed chews, which are both choking risks and digestive hazards. For now, the training treats are doing exactly the right job — keep it simple.
