All You Need to Know about Healthy Dog Treats

Who doesn't like to be treated every now and then? With that in mind, when's the last time you treated your dog with healthy dog treats? A little goes a long way with your pup, so do them a favor and educate yourself on the best ways to treat your dog.

Reward good behavior

Training a puppy to behave the way you want can be pretty difficult. Much like a real child, puppies rarely behave the way you want them to without proper instruction. Sure they aim to please, but they need your guidance as to how exactly they can make you happy.

And again, just as with a child, it's a good idea to use positive reinforcement whenever possible with your pup. They need to understand that consequences don't just come with negative behaviors. Behaving properly can yield desirable consequences—such as healthy dog treats. Treat your dog as often as you can when you see good behaviors so he will make the connection.

Doggy dentist?

Most people don't really think about dental health for dogs. Yet we spend countless hours caring for our own teeth with brushing, flossing, rinsing, dental cleanings, and more. One easy way to care for your dogs dental needs is to purchase dental treats. These treats are specially formulated to help whisk away tartar and plaque as the dog gnaws on them.

Use them to teach tricks

Did you know that teaching your dog to perform tricks is actually beneficial to their health? Sure it's fun to see a dog roll over or play dead, but the fact is, when your dog is learning new tricks, his brain is getting a solid workout. And just like with people, exercising your dog's mind is important to his overall health.

Now before you train your dog to perform tricks, you need some nice healthy dog treats. Your best bet is to find smaller treats, as you will need to treat him often when teaching and you don't want to overstuff him. Small treats are also convenient to carry and are eaten quickly by your dog, which helps maintain focus on the trick training.

Keep your dog occupied for hours on end

You can't be with your dog 24/7. Unfortunately, that means your dog must spend some time alone and is in danger of boredom. Bouts of boredom can lead dogs to engage in destructive behavior, such as tearing up cushions and things of that nature. That said, it's important that you give your dog something to do.

When you purchase Kong Stuff'N Paste, you can fill a specially made toy with it and the dog will try to get it out for hours on end. The end result? Your pooch gets the healthy dog treat inside.

Skip the rawhide

Sure rawhide is cheap. But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.  The fact is, cheap rawhide is devoid of nutrients. In fact, it's often coated in all sorts of artificial colors and flavors. So your dog gets little benefit out of it. Instead, skip the rawhide and opt for healthy dog treats!

It's high time you treated your dog. Purchase healthy dog treats today!

Question by Volunteer1988: Whats the difference between dog treats and regular dog food?
More specifically, whats in dog treats thats so different from regular dog food, and makes dogs freak over their treats? Why isnt this just added to regular dog food to make it more appealing to dogs, not that it really matters?

Best answer:

Answer by Julie G (Miss P. Culiar)
Dog food has the nutritional requirements to be a full meal.
Dog treats may contain ingredients that the dog doesn't actually need or may contain extra salt or sugar or other additives.
Finally, a bag of dog treats is a lot more expensive than dog food.
All in all, dog treats should be just that - treats - whereas dog food can be given as regular meals.

If you dog is being picky, that is because you are letting him. Pick a brand quality dog food that you are prepared to buy regularly and refuse to give him anything other than that. Put a bowl down twice a day and take it away again after half an hour. Give him no other food until the next meal. Sooner or late he will eat. Dogs won't let themselves get too hungry. I suggest that once he has a regular eating pattern established you use the treats as a reward for finishing each meal and only give it once the bowl is empty. Give him treats at no other times, other than when you are training him.

Give Your Dog Treats, But Don't Overdo It

Dog treats are a great way to encourage your dog to behave, aid in training, --whether it's complicated tricks and behaviours, or just potty training and the standard "sit and stay" commands. Then you can just give your dog a special treat now and then to let them know you love them, and that not chewing up your new pair of leather pumps was a smooth move on his part. Plus, many dog treats are optimized to contain vitamins to improve their digestive system, or strengthen and clean their teeth. However, there is a lot of hazard in giving your dog too many treats, and although spoiling the animal is a concern, there are also others, such as severe possible side effects of a harmful ingredient in the treat that your dog has been repeatedly exposed to. Making your own dog treats is very beneficial, --because you know what's going into the food, and can control what the animal is exposed to. But it's still important to ask a vet what ingredients you should not put in the treat.

Nutritional And Health Concerns

Throughout recent years, many foods and treats sold on mass scales especially for dogs were found to contain many ingredients that are actually poisonous to the animal, more so if they have been eating the food their entire lives. Even today, treats and foods for dogs can include dairy products, garlic, or onion, wheat gluten, liver, and salt. Chocolate is also poisonous for dogs, but rarely ever found in treats or food, and should never actually be given to a dog. All of these can cause numerous diseases in animals, from obesity to heart failure, when given to the animal in large quantities. Reading the ingredients panel of your dog food, or brand of dog treat, might just save your pet's life, or you could even skip the store bought treats, and make your own at home. Some items, like raisins and popcorn are frequently given as treats to dogs; but raisins are poisonous, and popcorn should remain unsalted.

Consequences In Behaviour

Dogs can be spoiled just as easily as children can; if you give them a reward all the time, soon, good behaviour will have lost all meaning, and they will act out regardless of prior training. Children however, can be verbally corrected. Dogs don't speak our language. So if you give your dog a treat all the time, the idea of getting a treat will have lost all meaning. Spoiling a pet and then punishing your animal for misbehaviour also leads to a lot of avoidable confusion. Train your pet wisely, and keep the treats for the times when you feel your dog deserves one, or now and then for just a little gift.

Make Your Own

Making your own dog treats is tricky, and you should always check with your vet before giving your animal anything to eat that is not specifically "for dogs". If you plan to bake treats for your pet, also be sure of what vitamins are going to be in them, -that way you know just how this will affect your dog's nutrition. Try the recipe below if you want to make a homemade batch of dog treats. But also check ingredients with a vet first, --your pet may have allergies or other health issues that might cause unhealthy reactions.

Homemade Dog Treats

Preheat oven to 325 F.

1 Egg
1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup cornmeal
(Garlic powder has been removed from this recipe because it is unsafe for dogs, but as an option and if your vet does not object, add 1 tsp of garlic powder.)
1 tsp chicken bullion (unflavoured with onion or garlic, preferably)
3 cups flour
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 cup of oatmeal
3/4 cup milk

Combine all liquid ingredients in one bowl, and set aside. The combine together the cornmeal, cheese, chicken flavour, (garlic powder if you're using it), and the grated cheese in a larger bowl. Not the flour. Afterward, pour the liquid mixture into the dry mix, and stir evenly. The add half a cup of flour at a time, stirring evenly after each addition. Use cookie cutters to make doggie friendly shapes, or just drop a couple teaspoons at a time on a baking sheet like cookies. Bake for 30 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet, and remember to let them cool for at least an hour before giving them to your dog.

Dangerous Dog Treats: What You Need to Know Before You Treat Your Pup

Bella loves to be treated to a special doggy delicacy every now and then and I love indulging her with such pleasures. Anyone who has ever owned a dog has a pretty good idea what their favorite pooch likes to snack on. Now days we have an infinite amount of choices when it comes to treating members of our pet family. Treats come in all different flavors, shapes, sizes, colors, and consistencies. But we need to keep in mind, for every great dog treat currently on the market; there are also those that are not so good. If you’re one of those pet owners who love to spoil your special canine friend, you’ll want to be aware of some treats that can be potentially harmful to your pet.
 
Rawhide Chews: What dog doesn’t love to chew on a good rawhide? Rawhides do a terrific job of keeping your pet occupied and keeping their teeth sparkling white and clean. However, rawhides can be a potentially dangerous treat. Rawhides that originate outside of the United States may be preserved with arsenic-based chemicals that can be ingested by your pet. Use caution when shopping for rawhide chews and make certain any rawhide you purchase has been processed in the United States where this preservative is prohibited.  If you are unable to determine where a treat originated-- do not buy it! In addition, you want to make sure the rawhides you purchase are the appropriate size for your pet. A smaller breed dog requires a smaller sized treat and a larger breed dog should start with a chew appropriate for its size, as well. Always remember that your pet requires supervision while consuming rawhides to help prevent accidental choking.

Bones: Bones are fragile, splinter easily and do not disintegrate well in a dog’s digestive track. This means your pet may have to pass them through his stool. Undigested bones can lead to a serious impaction and/or constipation requiring a trip to the veterinarian. Bones can also be a choking hazard and can cause possible intestinal bleeding. If a bone shard breaks off; it can pierce the intestinal wall and pass through the abdominal cavity causing hemorrhaging of the intestinal wall and peritonitis (an infection of the lining of the abdominal cavity). Symptoms of possible damage to the intestinal tract include vomiting, rectal bleeding, discharge from the rectum, diarrhea, straining to defecate, and extreme sensitivity to palpation of the abdomen. If your dog has ingested bones recently and shows any of the above symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Xylitol sweetened treats: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener in many products, including sugar-free gum and mints, nicotine gum, chewable vitamins, oral-care products, and baked goods. It can be purchased in a granulated form for baking or as a sweetener for cereals and beverages. The ASPCA APCC has had reports of some dogs developing elevated liver enzyme activity within 12 to 24 hours after Xylitol ingestion. Several of these dogs developed acute liver failure subsequent to Xylitol exposure. As few as a couple breath mints containing Xylitol is enough to kill a small dog. I read a story awhile back about a pug that ingested a couple breath mints out of their owner’s purse.  The poor little thing ended up in acute liver distress. Be very cautious about keeping any products that may can this sweetener out of the range of your curious pet.

 
Greenies: Greenies are advertised as a tasty treat to help keep your dog’s teeth clean. However, you need to be aware that “greenies” can cause serious health issues in your pet. At the 2005 American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACIVM) meeting, there was discussion among internal medicine specialists about Greenies® causing esophageal obstructions that were difficult to relieve. Complications reported include small intestinal obstructions; stricture, ulceration and perforation. Greenies are also associated with tooth fractures in dogs. Young puppies or dogs who “scarf” their food should not be given this treat since consuming the item quickly may cause large chunks to lodge in the throat. If your dog eats these treats, be aware of potential vomiting, lethargy, trouble swallowing, and difficulty breathing.  If you notice any of these symptoms after your dog has eaten this treat, seek medical attention immediately.
 

Chocolate: Although chocolate is a favorite threat for most humans, it is not an advisable treat to share with your pooch. Chocolate contains a substance known as theobromine, and this substance is toxic to dogs. Theobrimine is part of the xanthnine compound, which is the same family that contains caffeine. A toxic dose will vary from dog to dog, depending on a number of factors such as the weight of the dog and his or her metabolism level. The good news is that it generally takes quite a substantial amount of chocolate to do the dog any harm. In general, the toxic level of theobromine is between 100 and 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. It is important, of course, to keep in mind that dogs will vary in their sensitivity to the compound, so it is still important to keep any and all chocolate in the house out of Fido’s reach. Pet owners concerned that their dog has swallowed a toxic amount of chocolate should be on the lookout for the clinical signs of chocolate toxicity. This signs include excitability, irritability, increased heart rate, diarrhea, increased urination, muscle tremors and vomiting.

Thankfully, there are lots of healthy and delicious dog treats readily available for pet owners. Some safe and handy alternatives to pet store treats include fresh carrots, apples, canned pumpkin or plain popcorn and these items can be conveniently picked up on your next trip to the market. To satisfy your pup’s need to chew; consider a synthetic bone like a Nylabone. Nylabones are a good alternative to meat bones or rawhides because they are easily digestible and come in many terrific flavors. Remember to read the ingredient and warning labels on any treat you feed your dog and supervise them while they are eating. By following this simple advice you’re beloved pooch should lead a life full of safe, tasty treats (and terrific belly rubs)!

Picking The Right Dog Treat

All dogs like to eat treats and dog owners like to reward their dogs with treats. Dog treats can be utilized in a few other ways. Occasionally dog treats are employed for training, infrequently for good behavior, often to market good dental health, occasionally as an alternative to their standard food or for weight control. Much of the time dog treats are used to simply make our dogs happy. When making reference to picking the acceptable treat variety you want to take one or two things under consideration.

Your Dog's Size

The dimensions of your dog will affect the proper size of treats required. Some bigger treats could be a choking peril for smaller dogs, and some larger treats can be too hard for smaller dogs to effectively nibble. Enormous dogs, alternatively, can devour smaller treats at a good speed which in itself can be unhealthy for their digestion, nevertheless it could also leave you purchasing more treats than you initially planned.

Function of Your Treat

Understanding what you'll be using your gifts for will impact your choice of dog treats. As debated before, treats can be employed for training, dental health, weight control, for example. Some treats are particularly intended to promote dental health and would possibly not be sufficient for the swift gratification required for coaching. Others are specifically composed for weight control or joint health. Be sure to select a treat that may best serve the function.

Healthy Treats

it is critical to take a look for top quality, healthy ingredients. Treats are concocted to include many healthy advantages for your dog. As a rule you should have a look for treats that are all natural, low glycemic and functional. Dietary sensitivities Many dogs have allergies to foods. It's critical to contemplate those allergies when picking a treat.

Types of Dog Treats

There are lots of classes of dog treats. Following are a few examples of the primary sorts of treats on the market.

Biscuits, Bars, Cookies and Other Crunchy Treats - There are a range of tastes, configurations and dimensions of crunchy treats. Buddy Biscuits are all natural and made with human grade ingredients. Wagger's Natural Treats are low-fat and are made with premium ingredients and include no added salt, sugar and corn.

Small Treats - There are a variety of flavours, styles and sizes of little treats. Little treats are usually used during coaching for their acceptable taste, texture and speed of which they can be consumed. Using smaller sized treats during coaching allows for fast gratification. Mini-Naturals are the best size for heavy use without overfeeding. Rice Bites are all natural, low-cal and loaded in anti-oxidating agents.

Freeze-Dried Treats - Freeze-dried treats help keep the 1st flavor offer and provide a mouth watering treat like human food. These treats can be discovered in a range of flavours of beef, liver, chickens and seafood. Many freeze-dried treats are efficient for coaching due to their interesting flavor and relatively little size. Pooch Passions and Gimborn Pro-Treat are examples of freeze-dried treats.

Dental Chew Treats - Dental chews are generally made of harder, yet digestible materials. Due to the degree of chewing required to consume these treats, they can promote dental health. Though more safe compared to real bones, these treats can still cause blockages, so be certain to select the proper size dental gnaw for your dog. Greenies are well-liked dental chews as well as Nylabones and Nutri Dent.

Bones & Rawhide - Bones and Rawhide help in promoting healthy teeth and gums, and may become a long term chew treat. Ensure you select the correct size for your dog and look for categories of rawhide that are specifically developed to be digestible.

Dog Treats for Dog Training

Recently, a lot of our friends and customers have asked us about dog training and how to properly use treats when training dogs. We found the following article to be very helpful:

There are many different approaches to dog training and many different ways of implementing each of those approaches. Most techniques utilized today however, are premised upon the idea that positive reinforcement is likely to create the best results. Virtually every truly functional dog training system is outgrowth of positive reinforcement thinking.

Regardless of which specific program a dog owner may choose to adopt, there are common pitfalls that can be avoided. Dog owners are particularly susceptible to making three critical errors, which if avoided will make the training process far more enjoyable and effective. Three of the most common mistakes are inconsistency, impatience and treating the dog as a subject instead of a training partner.

Inconsistency

Consistency may be hobgoblin of little minds in terms of the need for human creativity. With respect to dog training, however, inconsistency is the quickest way to reduce the experience's effectiveness.

Dogs thrive on predictability. In fact, their ability to grasp cause and effect is at the very root of training. Operant conditioning is predicated on the fact that dogs will begin to associate events with consistent outcomes. This notion of consistency's importance must be extended to the overall process of dog training.

A dog is likely to best respond to a system in which regular actions produce regular results. Too often, dog owners fail to be entirely consistent. In the dog's mind, these lapses in regularity convey a sense of randomness to the process and make it difficult for the pet to associate his specific behaviors with specific results-the key to training. Dogs will excel when they are taught that things happen for specific reasons. When surprises occur it undermines the whole of the training process.

A successful trainer will retain consistency and will not deviate from an established course.

Impatience

There can be a great deal of frustration in dog training. Concepts we believe dogs should be able to grasp easily often escape them completely for quite some time.

We live in a world that is so often focused on immediate results. We learn to expect that our actions will be met by prompt, anticipated responses. Dog training runs counter to this societal trend toward speedy, immediate gratification. Training is an extended process that can require a great deal of patience from the trainer.

Impatience results in unpredictability on the part of the owner as they hastily cease a training session or abandon positive reinforcement techniques in hopes of finding a shortcut to desired results. Patience is, indeed, a virtue when one considers the role of the owner in a dog training situation.

A successful trainer will master developing a patient outlook throughout the extended process of dog training.

Treating the Dog as a Subject Instead of a Partner

Dog training requires two participants: the dog and the owner. Frequently, however, owners tend to perceive the process as being uniquely about them. They fret over their techniques, equipment and strategies without giving real consideration to their training partner, the dog.

When an owner approaches the dog as a simple subject for experimentation, they lose track of what makes the dog unique and denigrate the always-important dog/owner relationship. Training becomes a chore, rather than a joint activity. What might have been a pleasurable chance for interaction becomes an un-enjoyable task.

Dogs are sufficiently intuitive to be attuned to a trainer's attitude and are less receptive to learning when they are treated merely as a subject instead of as a complete being. Owners who fail to see their pet's identity during training are unable to pick up on subtle clues and possible means to improve their techniques.

The successful trainer will treat his dog as a full partner in training, not merely as a subject.

By avoiding these three common pitfalls, a dog owner is more likely to be able to implement a training strategy that produces results. Additionally, the training experience is likely to be enjoyable for both the dog and owner, giving them a tremendous opportunity to build their relationship. Regardless of the exact methodology adopted by the owner, the training process will benefit extraordinarily from avoiding the mistakes of inconsistency, impatience and treating your pet as a subject instead of as a partner.

Dog Treats: What's Best for your Dog

Treats can prove invaluable in rewarding positive behavior and in reinforcing behavior learned during training. They're also a fun, inexpensive way to show your dog you love him. When choosing a treat, be sure to consider these four factors:

* Your intended use - if you plan to use treats during training, smaller treats are a good choice. They're quickly consumed and provide minimal distraction from training tasks.

* Your "treat frequency" - if you plan to feed treats to your dog often, consider smaller, lower-calorie treats, which will help him stay slim.

* Your dog's age and relevant medical conditions - puppies often prefer smaller treats, and seniors with sensitive teeth often prefer soft treats. Dogs with food sensitivities/allergies can benefit from hypoallergenic treats.

* Your dog's preferences - treats are available in several different shapes, sizes, and flavors sure to fit your dog's unique tastes.

Although better for your dog than table scraps and meant to be given at any time, treats should constitute no more than 10% of your dog's diet. This is especially important for overweight dogs. Treats can also help you avoid the problems associated with feeding table scraps - begging, malnutrition, weight gain, digestive problems, and picky eating.

Following, you'll find brief descriptions of the wide variety of dog treats:

Biscuits & Treats

Biscuits and treats provide the crunch dogs crave, while promoting healthy teeth and gums. Smaller treats are perfect (and portable) for use as training aids and quick rewards. Biscuits are typically bone-shaped, and some include low-fat, natural ingredients and are fortified with vitamins and minerals. Crunchy treats, which are often smaller than biscuits, let you quickly reward your dog with a wide variety of flavorful, bite-sized treats.

Healthy Treats/Bones

If your dog is on a diet, or if you simply prefer giving all-natural treats, healthy treats and bones are all good choices. These low-fat, naturally nutritious, all-vegetable or grain-based treats provide essential dental benefits while offering all the flavor and appeal of other types of treats, which may not be conducive to weight loss.

Meat Treats

Meat treats - whether chewy or hard and crunchy - contain real meat or meat products and combine the taste dogs love with the protein dogs need. Chewy offer your dog a soft, tender treat with the irresistible flavor of lamb liver, chicken liver, or beef liver. Hard and crunchy meat treats pack a satisfying crunch.

Natural Treats

Natural treats make great chews for dogs of all ages and chewing habits. These chews are full of natural flavors dogs love. Pigs ears, a perennial favorite, are available in delicious natural or hickory flavors in full-size pieces or bite-size for more frequent treating. All-natural pork treats, made of dried pork hide, are good choices when you want to give your dog a longer-lasting chew treat.

Rawhide Treats

Rawhide Treats are beneficial to dental health and available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles to satisfy every chewing habit and dogs of all sizes. Rawhide treats are available in three varieties to satisfy your dog's preferences. Shaped rawhide treats (bones, twists, rings, sticks, and so on) are tightly wrapped or knotted to provide the most rawhide for your money. Ground rawhide novelties, consisting of small ground pieces of rawhide formed into shapes (rings, lollipops, and sticks), are easier to break down and are great for smaller dogs. Pressed rawhide treats, the most durable of rawhide treats, give your dog several layers of rawhide "welded" together to form the strongest, longest-lasting rawhide treat.

Dental Treats

Dental treats are designed to help you prevent painful, costly dental problems. Greenies® dog treats are an excellent, flavorful dental treat that freshens breath while reducing plaque and tartar. As your dog gnaws on a variety of delicious dental treats, he'll improve his overall dental health by effectively preventing tartar formation, plaque buildup, gum disease, and the germs that cause dreaded "doggie breath."

When to Use Dog Treats to Train Your Dog

If you are a dog owner, your dog is likely one of the most important beings in your life. To reward it, you probably provided it with dog treats almost regularly. But different dog treats are good for different situations. Rewarding your dog with the best treat for the situation is a good way to keep your dog alert and satisfied.

Training

When training your dog, the best kinds of treats are small, easy to chew treats that your dog can swallow quickly. There is a lot of behavioral evidence to suggest that it does not matter how large a treat is, a reward for learning a trick is a reward. So there is no reason to fill your dog up on treats too quickly, since the size of the treat does not matter when it comes to how well a dog will learn a trick.

Using small treats will allow you to train your dog for longer, and the more training your dog receives, the more it will remember the training.

Distraction

Often times dogs will become distracted by objects in the distance, bikers, loud walkers or other dogs. When this is the case, you want to make sure that when you give your dog a treat, it is distracted by the treat long enough to ignore whatever was grabbing its attention. For this, you want to select treats that are larger and take a while to chew. Large cookie treats are good for this purpose, as they break off into several pieces as a dog chews it and take a while to finish eating them. By the time your dog has eaten the whole treat, the object will have passed.

Crate Training

With crate training, it is not the type of treat but its smell. All dogs should have a specific treat that is only given to them when they are going into the crate. A strong smelling treat is especially useful, because your dog will learn that if it smells the treat it is crate time, and your dog may run into the crate on its own or at least do so with very little prompting.

For No Reason At All

Sometimes you may find yourself wanting to simply give your dog a treat for being your dog. A bonus for putting up with all of your human annoyances. In this case, any treat will do, but especially meaty treats may do the trick. Meaty treats are the most delicious treats to dogs. These should only be given occasionally as several of the meatiest treats are not quite as healthy as other treats. But if you give these treats sparingly, your dog will thank you for years to come.

Like everything with dogs, treats are another way to increase your dog’s affection towards you, as well as make your dog happy and less destructive. Treats can be a good way to train, or they can just be a reward for being a good dog. No matter what your reason for giving your dog a treat, choosing the right dog treats can help you achieve whatever you goals are when rewarding your dog.

Dog Treats to Encourage and Train Your Pet

Just like some dog owners like to go through tons of dog names to find the one that suits their dog the best, similarly, dog treats should be only selected after careful consideration of their nutritional and quality values.

The one name you choose out of the many dog names, speaks as much about you, the dog owner, as it does about your pooch. Not only do dog names depict your relationship with your, but they also convey how much the dog matters to you. If you care for your dog, then you will always be careful about his/her well-being and good health. Dog treats are an important part of your dog’s diet. Though dispensed with only on special occasions, dog treats are a source of nutrition, taste, and pleasure for your dog.

Rewarding your dog with dog treats every time he/she does as told can have long-lasting and beneficial effect on the animal. An important aspect of dog training is to reward the dog with gourmet dog treats every time he obeys your orders. Many dog trainers also dispense with dog treats while teaching dogs how to respond to dog names, dog commands and similar things.

Nowadays, completely natural and gourmet dog treats are gaining popularity so much so that many dog owners even bake healthy and nutritious dog treats for their pooches right at home. More and more dog owners are finding that dog treats made from ingredients similar to those used in human food offer a satisfying choice from the commercial brands of dog treats available in stores. Moreover, if you believe your dog’s health is mostly dependent on his diet, you will be quite satisfied with the latest all natural dog treats. These treats are not just delicious, but are nutritious and look great too. The minute your dog smells the treats in your hand he’ll pretty much do anything you want him to!!

Dog treats are no longer limited to dog biscuits, just like dog names are no longer mean Maggie or Max. Today, you can take your dog to special bakeries that cater to only domestic pets such as dogs and cats. You with your dog can together browse through the range of dog treats that are on display. Dog treats here include hide, brownies, tarts, and of course, biscuits.

If you are not fortunate enough to have such gourmet bakeries for pets in your neighborhood, then you can hook on to the internet and browse the many online gourmet dog treat bakeries. These bakeries provide natural, free of preservatives, and tasty dog treats packaged in small plastic bags that even make excellent gifts if you have friends who have pet dogs. If your dog is overweight or suffering from diabetes, you can opt for low calories dog treats!

Finally, as with dog names, going overboard with dog treats can be detrimental to the health of your invaluable pet dog! So make sure you never give him more than 10% of his regular diet as dog treats per day.

If you need further information on http://www.nutrecare.co.uk/prod1.asp?ID=211 for dog treats including natural and gourmet types visit our on line store. We also have a great area for dog names http://www.nutrecare.co.uk/prod1.asp?ID=176 for all types of breeds.
