Hi, fellow dogs lovers! Talk about Dog treats, something guaranteed to make tails wag faster than the sighting of a squirrel! Not just any treat, but those with all-natural ingredients that offer health benefits without using any of the ill-advised chemicals.
Imagine yourself at home on a Sunday morning, enjoying breakfast with your dog while he gives you the puppy-dog look. Toss a tasty treat to your dog and you are the hero. Ever wondered what was in those treats? Today, many of us prefer natural ingredients to tongue-twisting ones.
The farm to table movement is the same for Fido. Ingredients like vegetables, sweet potatoes and real meats are common. You can think of this as feeding your dog Mother Nature’s best. These treats do not contain any unnecessary preservatives or additives. It’s a winning situation for both you and your pet.
All treats are not created equally. There are so many options that it is easy to feel overwhelmed. You’ve probably stood on the pet aisle and stared blankly at packages. It’s not just you. It’s important to keep an eye out on packaging with cleverly hidden ingredients. Select treats that list real ingredients. Chances are, if the recipe sounds familiar to your grandmother’s spice cabinet, it is a winner.
We’ll cook up an example. You may remember that Grandma would bake her cookies by hand during the holiday season. The scent of the kitchen alone would lead you there. She only used natural, simple ingredients. Dog treats made from natural ingredients follow the old-fashioned philosophy. Just like homemade cookies, these treats are a priority for quality. The key is to keep things simple. You wouldn’t want to give your grandmother an ingredient list that she cannot read. We should also apply the same logic to our pups.
A fun addition? You can make your own snacks! Imagine cozy nights in your home, where you can experiment with pet-friendly recipes, your dog at your side, waiting for the final taste. One dab each of peanut butter and pumpkin with perhaps a hint of cheese. Voila! Make your own tasty treats that are free of any tricks.
Benefits don’t end with tasty treats. These natural treats also promote coat luster, good dental hygiene, and joint health. What dog owner doesn’t desire a well-groomed retriever, or one with a set of superstar teeth? This is like treating your pet to a spa treatment, one bite at a time.
Let me share a quick story. Once I met a golden retriever who loved chewies flavored with chicken. A natural chewy made of free-range chicken with a little turmeric was discovered by his human. In addition to his consuming them, he also noticed that the stiffness in his joints had decreased. Imagine turning your favorite treats into mini miracle workers.
You still drinking that coffee, and thinking about treats? Consider natural products. The difference will be noticeable by your dog. Maybe not as if you were solving a murder mystery but nonetheless, a significant change. You just need to take that small extra step towards a happier dog without all the questions you would rather avoid.
The next time that you find yourself in the aisle of pet products, show off your newly acquired knowledge. Grab those bags full of healthy treats and walk out like a pro. It’s possible that your dog can’t express their gratitude in words. But those happy jumps and tail-wags speak for themselves. What a wonderful conversation starter!
