It's vital that the treats that you pick contain natural ingredients, and not fillers, hydrogenated oils, excess sugars, preservatives and chemicals. You should try to avoid treats that have the words byproduct on the ingredients label, as this is simply parts of an animal which are seen to be unfit for human consumption. It is simple common sense that if something is not fit for you to eat, then it is likely to be unhealthy for your dog as well. Look for treats which are high in whole foods that are vitamin rich.
You should also establish a preferred texture as this will help your dog's digestive system and teeth. Harder treats, such as our Frosted Blueberry Crunch, are good for young dogs. A harder treat helps keep teeth clean, and provideds a great outlet for natural chewing instincts! For older dogs, treats that are soft will be easier for them to eat.
If your dog suffers from some sort of allergy or health problem then you will need to check the ingredients carefully. You will want to ensure that all of the ingredients are safe for your dog to eat, and if in doubt, the pet store or even your vet will be able to advise you.
Natural treats are perfect for all dogs whether they have allergies or health problems or not and when you buy natural treats, you know that you are buying treats with the best ingredients. You can be assured that all of the ingredients in the treats will be made from fresh proteins and produce which is natural and very healthy. So next time you go to buy treats, stop to read the labels and try to find the healthier options.
No matter what treats you end up giving your dog, the most important thing to consider is the ingredients. It's worth repeating here. Make sure the treats are made with natural ingredients and have no by-products. If you want to steer clear of treats that contain meat, there are some wonderful peanut butter dog treats as well as fish or vegetable dog treats to choose from. A good tip is to look for bite sized treats that are low in calories and made with natural ingredients. Your dog's health will benefit in the long run if he eats healthy, wholesome dog treats.
