When it comes to picking out the best Natural Dog Treats for your four-legged friend, then you only need to look out for key things. The best dog treats include Meat, Fruits, and Veggies, but avoid Corn, wheat & soy. Apart from this, artificial preservatives such as BHA, potassium sorbate, BHT, ethoxyquin, sodium nitrate, and calcium propionate must be avoided. Besides, also avoid Chemical humectants like propylene glycol because these chemicals are used in some pet even human foods to keep them chewy and moist or to prevent discoloration in preserved meats.
In this post, we have mentioned top 5 hints to healthy treats for your dog. Take a look at them below:
· If you can, make treats yourself for your best friend. Baked, cooked and dehydrated pieces of organic meats or non-medicated are great. But, make sure treats are not made in countries with very poor quality control if buying online.
· Do not give liver treats frequently to your dog. We know dehydrated treats are more nutrient and vitamin-rich but, you can overeat the fat-soluble vitamins in the case of the liver. In addition to this, liver contains more toxins plus impurities than muscle meat as it is a main detox organ of the body. Avoid small fish treats because small fish can be a big problem for your dog due to strontium contamination.
· However, organic ingredients are good for your dog because they are less likely to be adulterated with contaminants and get additional scrutiny from inspectors. Many people give the salmon skin to their dog, which from a nutritional point of view is good, but salmon contains low to moderate levels of mercury. And the mercury levels can be shockingly high if fed regularly. You can have your best friend HairQ tested if you are worried about mercury and other toxins in your pet’s body.
· Must avoid treats that are too good to be true. Confused! Let us explain. A pound of dehydrated treats for a dog was made from 10 times the amount of fresh elements. If you go to purchase a pound of the dehydrated chicken breast for $10, then the math does not add up, so I would not touch them at all.
· Feeding cheap or grain or wheat-based treats is one of the riskiest adventures for your pet’s health. Also, the best way to prevent your pet from becoming a cookie monster is to feed them frequently. That way your dog is not unhappy if you are very busy to give one on their plate at 8 p.m. every day. If your pet’s favorite treat is a bone, then must avoid beef tendons, rawhide, and extremely processed dental bones. You can share a vanilla ice cream cone (a few licks) with your dogs, but avoid chocolate and toppings.
Pets are like us in some ways, and they are healthier when they eat raw foods or unprocessed because it’s going to be better for their teeth, digestive tracts as well as clean their teeth with the raw enzymes.
