Check Out These Healthy Dog Treats

Giving your pet treats is a great way to show them a little extra love. Unfortunately, some treats can be full of additives and preservatives that can poorly affect their health. Searching through the long aisles of goodies can take tons of time for something good. We’ve gathered our top five choices for healthy dog treats so you can give Fido the absolute best. 

Chicken Breast Freeze-Dried Dog Treats by PureBites

These are at the top for a reason! These PureBites dog treats are made of one ingredient: chicken! The single ingredient means no additives, so the treats are perfect for pups with sensitive tummies. Each bag comes with 330 treats perfect for any dog, young or old. 

Veggiedent FR3SH Tartar Control Chews by Virbac

The FR3SH Tartar Control chews will no doubt make a dent in your pup’s dental tartar. Their unique shape acts as a freshening toothbrush with a pleasant taste to match. They’re so great that they’ve even been approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Don’t let the dental theme fool you; these treats are plant-based and are full of a prebiotic used to support digestion. So, the treats are good for the teeth and the tummy. Think of it as a “two birds, one stone” situation. 

Blue Bits by Blue Buffalo

Blue Buffalo is a well-known brand with a wholesome reputation behind it. These treats fit the bill and are perfect for big canines. These tasty morsels have no preservatives or added flavoring despite coming in several flavors. Even still, they’re just as delicious as any other on the list. We recommend the chicken recipe, but there are others to choose from.

PBnanas Soft Treats by Bil-Jac

Bil-Jac is an excellent example of a company that loves its canine clientele. These treats are perfect for that puppy with a sweet tooth. The first two ingredients are – you guessed it – peanut butter and banana, leaving little room for any preservatives, gluten, or soy. Do your research on what Bil-Jac offers if your dog has a food allergy.

Puppy Chow Healthy Start Treats by Purina

It might say puppy on the package, but these tasty treats are for all shapes and sizes. Use them for training or as a reward for being your best friend. Since the main ingredient is salmon, there are tons of omega-3 fatty acids which can act as an inflammatory component. Not only that, but the DHA in the treats can help your buddy’s skin and coat flourish.
