BEST TREATS IN TOWN! We personally recommend you stay away from chew hooves (deadly to many) rawhides, and process chews. Even Nylabones can chip and not show on an x-ray- so why take the chance? Also many of these chews including Greenies are not human grade - so after the recall- why risk it? Many people email to ask "What is the best treat for my dog"? Well simply we think any of the 'stuffable' hard rubber toys, such as the Kongs and several other rubber toys like this. Also fresh naturally shed Deer Antlers (read about them on our favorite things page) are great to clean teeth and have a low risk of splintering. Please always supervise your pet whenever they are chewing on anything they could possibly destroy or swollow. Natural rubber treat dispenser type toys are extremely durable and versatile. They even have 'dental' style ones with ridges and hollows that help clean the teeth below the gum line, massage the gums, and provide jaw exercise. These make for both an extremely safe toy and treat all in one. It provides mental stimulation and physical exercise to reduce boredom and behavior problems. Best of all it's along with the safety factor it's can be the most healthy and long lasting treat you can give. They are Non-toxic. Can't chip or splinter and can be washed in dishwasher. Available in all sizes shapes! Fill the toy with foods such as
Remember to avoid even 'sugarless sugars' as they can kill your dog (see our dangerous foods page) Use your imagination! You know what your dog likes! Just make your own and don't buy the 'ready made' fillers as they not healthy and probably cost you even less money than the pet store stuff! Also if your dog is sick and on a restricted diet of meat and rice for any reason you might want to try ORGANIC RICE CAKES (no salt no sugar) as a treat so your dog doesn't feel deprived at treat time. However we don't recommend giving this all the time as they can have a high glycemic index and should be reserved for these restricted diet times. |
