We love our dogs like a member of the family. And because we
love them, we like to share treats and snacks with them, but sometimes
those dog treats aren’t very healthy. A lot of manufactured dog treats
are high in calories and preservatives and low in nutritional value.
That’s why it’s important to not just snatch up the cutest or most
appealing package on the shelf. There have been many recalls of treat
and snack products due to contamination which has been responsible for
fatalities. To protect yourself and your dog, you need to know a little
about what you’re getting. The best thing to do, just like buying your
own food, is to read the ingredients list. Are there a lot of chemicals
in the product? Artificial colors and flavors? What else is in it?
1. Mother Nature Natural Dog Biscuits. These premium gourmet biscuits are produced by the Natura Pet Company.
Pros: Stone ground wheat is used for the base because it’s lower in carbohydrates. Quality meat, fresh vegetables and fruits are added in different combinations to provide different flavor sensations for your dog. There are several types and sizes of biscuits available to choose from for dogs and puppies. And Natura is a reputable company committed to quality from the ingredient sources right down to the manufacturing process.
Cons: Although the Natura Brand is well-known and widely distributed in North America, not all locations selling their dog food will necessarily carry the treats. They can be ordered online, however, and shipped internationally depending on the retailer. The other downside is the price. Although worth it, they do tend to be more expensive.
2. Bellyrubs for Dogs. These tantalizing treats are manufactured by Meyer Country Farms.
Pros: Bellyrubs offers a few different types of treats to choose from so your dog doesn’t get bored. They have dried chicken strips made from mostly fat-free chicken fillets or freeze-dried 100% beef treats. They also offer sticks and biscuits. All ingredients are certified organic, all-natural and contain no preservatives. These treats are mostly freeze-dried whole products that don’t require refrigeration.
Cons: You will find limited retail availability in the United States and Canada, Hong Kong, Macau and China, Singapore, Taiwan and Korea. They can be purchased online and shipped internationally depending on the site. They’re also somewhat higher in price.
3. Whole Life Dog Treats. These treats are manufactured by the Whole Life Pet Company.
Pros: The manufacturer boasts their products are “farm to table” assuring ingredients come directly from ranchers, farmers and fishermen and avoid middlemen. All treats are 100% human-quality, organic, free range and free from hormones, chemicals, artificial fillers, or preservatives. Every batch is safety tested during production and each package comes with an expiration date. They also have a large line of different types of treats available.
Cons: Whole Life Dog Treats are distributed only in the U.S. and Canada. They can be purchased online, like the others, and shipped internationally depending on the seller. And, as with the other all-natural high quality treats, they’re a bit more expensive.
There are, of course, many other brands out there, but you get the idea. A flashy package and a smaller price tag in your local supermarket may not ensure your dog is getting a safe or healthy treat. Do a little research beforehand so your best furry friend is safely enjoying proper nutrition when it enjoys it’s next snack.
