Can anyone recommend dog treats without guar gum or carrageenan ? I’ve been using the Nature’s Variety treats the past month, but realized they have guar gum in them and I want to change to a treat without these two ingredients.

Thanks.

Some biscuits I’ve used that don’t contain guar gum or carrageenan are: Cloudstar’s Buddy Biscuits, Sojo’s Grain-Free Biscuits, Darford Zero-G Biscuits and Max & Ruffy’s Grain-Free Treats.

Can I suggest that you take any meat, thinly sliced, and dry it on a low temp in your oven and use that for treats?

Thanks so much…I will order some today. I do occasionally use the ZiwiPeak lamb as treats, but mostly for puppy training class. But hey, they are so expensive !

Thanks for the good advice…and suggestions !

Stella & chewy’s, Bravo, Fresh Is Best have meat treats and I also like using Vital Essentials freeze dried nibbletts as treats and Instinct freeze dried for treats.

An easy homemade treat is pumpkin dog treats:

Thanks Sandy… I love these treats you have suggested. It’s even better when I can get them through Amazon.com’s Subscribe & Save program or use their Prime membership so I can get them within 2 days. I have added the Stella & Chewy’s to my list also. I just read an article today about Stella & Chewy’s…..
