Best low-odour treats for a Pomeranian

Living with flatmates who can't stand treat smells puts real limits on what you can use — and honestly, most of the best single-ingredient treats (dried fish, liver) are the worst offenders. The good news is there are genuinely good low-odour options that aren't just filler-packed rubbish. Before I point you to one: is your Pomeranian on any restricted diet, and what are the treats mainly for — training, rewards, or just something to enjoy?

Got it — at 2.5kg she's tiny, so you need small pieces anyway or you'll overfeed quickly. What kind of treats has she responded well to in the past? Soft or crunchy? And does she have any history of digestive sensitivity?

Perfect — that makes this straightforward. Go with Lily's Kitchen Organic Baked Treats in the chicken variety. They're small, soft-baked, genuinely low odour — you can open the bag in a flat and nobody will notice — and the ingredient list is clean: real chicken, oats, a few wholesome extras, no artificial anything. At her size you can break each piece in half, so a bag lasts well. They're not single-ingredient, but they're among the most nutritionally honest soft treats on the market for a small dog. She'll stay interested because they're flavourful without being pungent. Available on Amazon UK, usually under £5 for a 100g bag. Keep them in a sealed container between uses and your flatmates won't even know they exist.

At 7 she's moving into middle age for a Pom, so a couple of things are worth keeping in mind. Pomeranians are prone to dental issues, so crunchy treats a few times a week alongside soft ones helps — but her teeth should be checked regularly regardless. They can also be prone to weight gain at this age since they often slow down a bit, so keep treat calories to under 10% of her daily intake. At 2.5kg that's not much, so the half-piece habit really does matter. Nothing about her age changes the Lily's Kitchen recommendation — just keep quantities sensible and you're fine.
