What to Look for in Dog Treats
Before choosing a dog treat, consider the following points to make the best decision for your pup.
- Ingredients– Check the ingredients to see which benefits your pup can get from the treat
- Allergies– If your dog is allergic to gluten or dairy, make sure to buy cookies free of those ingredients.
- Size– If you’re looking for training treats, you’ll want to buy half bite-sized treats to keep the portions healthy. If you’re just looking for an occasional snack, consider a bone, dental or jerky chew.
- Texture– Some dogs love a good chip-like crunch, while others prefer a chewier texture. Also, consider your dog’s health and whether their teeth could handle a harder biscuit. Senior dogs are often better with softer food rewards.
