Dog treats can be used as a delicious training tool, tasty reward for good behavior, or snack between meals. A general rule of thumb is to restrict treats to 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. I’ve rounded up a diverse selection of nutritious dog treats and a tasty vet-formulated dental chew because dogs, much like people, love variety and there are picky dogs who will reject one treat while accepting another. Read on to discover a listing of tail-wag-worthy nutritious and delicious dog treats.
The Satisfaction-Guaranteed Beef Liver Treat
You won’t have to guess about the ingredients in Zora’sBestFriendz Beef Liver chemical-free treats because the sole ingredient is slow roasted human-grade beef liver. Made in a USDA facility in Loveland, Colorado, I have a feeling that even picky dogs are going to love this treat as much as my dog does. Zora’s Best Friendz stands behind this treat, promising that “your 100% satisfaction is our top priority.” If your dog doesn’t love it, reach out to Zora’s Best Friendz within 30 days of purchase and they will do everything they can to ensure your satisfaction
Doggone Unusual Flavors & Shapes
I was surprised by the various 4Legz unusual flavor combinations and shapes in its dog treats line. A dog treat flavor and shape I’d never seen before is their Molasses Ginger Snap doughnut-shaped treats. There is also a Chehalis Mint flavored treat, made with mint oil. More traditional flavors, such as sweet potato and pumpkin are also available, and treats made with peanut butter, such as peanut butter and carob and peanut butter and molasses.
Finn’s Plaque Patrol is Chewable Dental Insurance
Finn’s vet-formulated chew is the only chew on the market made with shitake mushroom, a mushroom that reportedly improves oral hygiene by reducing plaque-forming bacteria.
My dog enjoys chewing on the Plaque Patrol Chew for dogs under 25 lbs and I am hoping that it keeps his teeth pearly white because vet bills for dental services are expensive! The gluten-free and grain-free chew is also available in a larger size for dogs over 25 lbs.
A Handy Training Treat Pouch
Now that you’ve got all these great treats, where do you store them? Ensure that your dog’s treats are handy when you need them with Healthybud’s zippered training treat silicone pouch. It keeps your dog’s treats tucked securely inside when you are walking your dog or traveling far from home.
