  WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HEALTHY DOG TREATS?
Dog treats are readily available in different shapes, flavors, and colors. You need to beware, as some dog treats are loaded with additives and preservatives. You should read the list of ingredients on the box. Of you are overly concerned with what you see on the dog treat packaging you may want to look into ordering your healthy dog treats from an internet store that specializes in all natural dog treats.

First of all we have soft dog treats. These include human food such as raw hotdogs, bologna, cooked unseasoned chicken, and cheese. These smaller treats are great for training or just to give as a snack.

Biscuits are another dog treat, the beef and liver bones seem to be a favorite with the canine group. Dog biscuits are very easy to make yourself and you really don’t need to bring animal organs into it. You can use peanut butter as a protein, and dogs love it.

Pig ears are a popular treat for small dogs or puppies. They can be kept entertained for hours with one ear. Most of these treats come in smoked flavors, your dog will love it.

There is a great deal of controversy over rawhide dog treats. The rawhide is dried by using chemicals, it cannot be digested when swallowed and can cause serious digestive tract problems. Under no circumstances should you ever give a dog turkey or chicken bones. These bones can splinter and pierce a vital organ. Many dogs have died because they were given chicken and turkey bones.

More often than not, pet owners are choosing to buy organic treats for their dog. These healthy dog treats are free from harmful chemicals and are usually made with added vitamins and minerals. These treats will help prevent skin problems, allergies, kidney problems and diabetes. These healthy dog treats should be high in nutrients and low in fat. Vegetables like broccoli, baby carrots, or red peppers can make even the fussiest dog sit up and take notice. Pineapple, bananas, pears, and grapes could also be incorporated into your dogs diet. He will let you know which ones he doesn’t care for.
