What are the Best Dog Treats on the Market?
All dogs deserve (and love) treats.
They’re a wonderful way to reward good behavior and extremely helpful when it comes to training.
This is why we want to share The Dog Food Advisor’s favorite dog treats. Each month we’ll be adding a selection we think your dog will love.
Are Dog Treats Healthy?
Now, we don’t look at dog treats in the same way we look at dog food. There are several reasons why.
For one, dog treats aren’t regulated in the same way dog food is, so we can’t analyze them against official guidelines.
Also, treats are not dog food — they’re additional to and not part of a complete diet.
And finally, treats are treats! Sometimes you treat kids with carrots, sometimes with candy. It’s the same with dogs. Some treats can be a little naughty… in small doses.
That said, we’ve done our best to select treats that don’t include any nasties.
We sincerely hope your pooch will be rolling over (and sitting and begging and shaking hands) with joy when they taste them.
