Ah, what joys it is to have a furry buddy! It’s hard to beat the tail wag of a happy pup. Finding the perfect homemade dog treats can be as difficult as searching for a needle amongst haystacks. You want a treat to make your pooch’s tail whirl like a helicopter while keeping him healthy and content. Here are a few top-notch dog treats that will leave your pup salivating in anticipation.
First, there’s the classic Peanut Butter Biscuit. This is the holy grail dog treat. Peanut butter for dogs is the same as chocolate for humans: pure bliss. These biscuits, which are crunchy on the exterior and creamy on their inside, provide a delicious texture contrast to keep pups coming for more. They are packed with healthy fats, protein and fiber. Check for any xylitol; it is just as bad for our dogs as stepping onto a Lego.
Next on our list are sweet potato chews. These are the perfect chews for a dog more health-conscious that you are. Sweet potatoes have a high fiber content and are packed with vitamins. This makes them an ideal choice for maintaining digestive wellness. These sweet potatoes will keep your dog occupied, but are soft enough that they won’t take up all day.
If you have a smaller dog or an older dog who may not have the strength to chew on tougher treats, freeze-dried bites of liver are perfect for them. These bite-sized nuggets deliver a powerful flavor punch without the need for much jaw strength. They are light yet delicious–a little bit like the popcorn you get at the movies, but healthier.
Ever tried giving your dog jerky? You can even get chicken or beef strips specifically made for your dog! These are the things that dogs (figuratively) go bananas for. Just the aroma will make your dog’s tails wag furiously even before they taste it.
Dental sticks are also worth mentioning! While they might not sound glamorous or exciting, dental sticks can do wonders to keep those pearly-whites sparkling clean. They also double as delicious snacks. You can think of them as fun flossing. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Imagine that you’re on your couch relaxing after a long day at work. Suddenly, you hear rustling in the distance. It’s your dog, trying desperately and adorably to open his treat jar himself because he knows what’s in there: bacon-flavored kibbles! They are indeed delicious, and they don’t contain any bacon grease! Perfect if you want to watch your pup’s weight.
It’s okay, we all spoil our pets from time to time. Why not pamper them from time to time with gourmet foods such as salmon bites, which are rich in omega-3 oils that help promote healthy coats? What about blueberry muffins without sugar?
It can sometimes be hard to decide which one is best, but don’t worry dear reader. You should always remember that every dog is different and has his own preferences. So, mix it up to find out what gets their paws tapping the most!
In conclusion… Oh, I didn’t promise to conclude anything did I? Give these suggestions a whirl the next time you go shopping in Fido’s snack cupboard. You will be amazed at how much joy they bring to man’s best friend.
