Healthy Dog Treat Choice
Dogs love treats--just as we do! Treats are helpful when we are teaching a dog to obey or we are trying to entice him to come or to do something.
Or just when we feel like having some positive interaction with our pet. Let’s face it—it’s fun for us to give healthy dog treats to our pets!
Healthy dog treat choice is not complicated. Just keep in mind the needs and preferences of your dog when choosing dog treats for her! Here are some tips to get you started...
Dog food treats can be used to make medicine more inviting, to "hide" medicine (putting a pill in peanut butter), to treat a condition (like dry skin), to keep your dog’s teeth and gums healthy or to entice a dog to eat his dinner!
When choosing dog treats for your dog, keep in mind the flavors that she prefers. For some dogs, this may be the most important factor.
Also, keep in mind:
Pick the Right Size Choose a size that is appropriate for your dog. Remember that dogs come in different sizes and have different sized mouths.
Vary the Texture Especially if your dog eats soft dog food, buy crunchy treats for her for a change. Just like it makes life interesting for you, variety is nice for dogs too!
Choose Dog Treats to Support Your Pet's Dental Health Choose crunchy treats to exercise and clean her teeth. You can also choose special treats like these
charcoal dog biscuits
that have been formulated to help combat bad breath.
Healthy Dog Treat Choice for Dogs with Allergies If your
dog has dog allergies,
choose hypoallergenic treats that have no corn, no milk or no wheat in them—depending on what your pet is allergic to.
Digestion Problems If your dog has trouble digesting foods, choose a dog food treat like
Gas Busters for Canine Flatulence
that has ingredients that will help with digestion.
These healthy homemade dog biscuits are good for bad dog breath and also for upset stomachs. Activated charcoal, one of the active ingredients, is used by veterinarians worldwide to combat toxic poisoning in farm animals.
Choose Treats for Fun! Anise is to dogs as catnip is to cats. It helps dogs feel energized and is uplifting to their spirits. When you make treats with anise, you’ll have a great time watching your dog play with her cookie before she eats it!
Have fun picking dog treat surprises for your pet! It’s a great way to bond with a new puppy or cement your relationship with your older dog.
You’ll both enjoy trying new healthy dog treat recipes and healthy dog snacks!
