Dog Treats

Finding the best dog treats for your dog

The best dog treats depend on your dog’s preferences and health needs. Choose treats with natural ingredients and avoid artificial additives.

Is your dog following a grain-free diet? They may need specialised treats. Do you have a senior dog who needs support with their bone and joint health? There are many treats that they will love and that will help them stay strong and resilient.

Sometimes, dogs need a little more excitement in their life, or they’re simply a picky eater. If they’re not as keen on their food, you can try healthy dog food toppers that both enhance the nutritional value of their meal and make them more delicious! When in doubt, look for natural, wholesome ingredients to know that you’re getting the best out of the food. Remember: some dog food toppers can provide complete nutrition, and others are only intended to complement your dog’s primary diet, so always check the label.

Treats also come in handy when training your dog. They’re a great low-calorie reward, especially for food-motivated dogs. They can be used as a part of positive-reinforcement training, which is critical for building good habits in your dog, while still building trust between dog and owner. Using training treats means your dog will love the process and learn at the same time.

Dental treats are another useful tool to maintain your dog’s oral health. They work by cleaning and reducing plaque and tartar buildup – as your pet chews! It’s important that your dog receives dental treats (but not too many) so that they aren’t at risk of periodontal disease. Plus, you can say goodbye to bad doggy breath. Win, win!
