We freely admit to spoiling our dogs with treats. They're a fun, inexpensive way to show your dog you love him or her. When their eyes light up at the sight of them, or even at hearing the word, it’s all we can do to keep from giving them the whole box right then.
Moderation is key when it comes to doling out treats. Not only will it help your dog’s diet, but it will help ensure that treats remain a special occasion. Most trainers agree that treats can be effective training tools, and should be given strictly as rewards after good behavior, and not as an enticement.
The type and amount of treats your dog should get daily will depend on many factors: size, age, breed, weight, activity, even personal taste. That’s why we carry a wide variety of healthy treats that don’t just taste good, but are good for your dog. Consult your vet to make the right choice. (As with anything your dog chews on, make sure you keep your eyes and ears open in case of choking.)
Whether you are training, rewarding or simply treating, we stock a complete range of treats:
- Meaty treats, like bully sticks, pig ears, and rawhide, provide the natural nutrients dogs crave, as well as a long-term chewing distraction.
- Freeze-dried treats also maintain aroma, flavor, and nutrients, making an excellent training tool. We also offer organic treatswith a wide variety of fruits and vegetable ingredients.
- For specific health needs, we have low-fat, grain-free, and other vitamin-rich options.
- Dental chews work to clean your dog’s teeth while chewing, helping to reduce plaque and tartar, and also freshen breath.
- Of course, there’s nothing like a good old-fashioned dog biscuit to carry on that lifelong bond and tradition.
