NATURAL TREATS
As a pet owner, it's important to consider the type of treats you give to your furry friend. While processed treats may be convenient and readily available, there are several benefits to opting for natural treats instead.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE
Natural treats are often made from whole ingredients, such as real meat, vegetables, and fruits. These ingredients provide essential nutrients that can help to support your dog's overall health and well-being. In contrast, processed treats may be made from lower quality ingredients and may lack the nutritional value of natural treats
LIMITED INGREDIENTS
Natural treats often have a shorter list of ingredients, which can be beneficial for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities. This can be especially important for dogs with sensitivities to common allergens such as corn, wheat, and soy, which are often found in processed treats
NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS
Processed treats may contain artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives that are not found in natural treats. These artificial ingredients can potentially be harmful to your dog's health and may cause digestive issues or allergic reactions. Oh and did I mention that they are raw-hide free
NATURAL FLAVOURS
Natural flavors: Many dogs are attracted to the natural flavors found in whole ingredients, such as real meat and vegetables. These flavors can be more appealing to dogs than the artificial flavors found in processed treats
DENTAL HEALTH
Some natural treats, such as rawhide and bones, can help to clean your dog's teeth and promote healthy gum tissue. These treats can be especially beneficial for dogs who may not receive regular dental cleanings
It's important to keep in mind that not all natural treats are created equal, and it's still important to read labels and choose treats that are appropriate for your dog's size, age, and nutritional needs. As with any change to your dog's diet, it's a good idea to consult with your veterinarian before introducing new treats
I get all of our natural treats from Happy Tails Hampers (you can use HAPPYATLAS for 10% off your order) - they do dog hampers, boxes, enrichment toys and offer loads of delicious snacks such as natural treats 🐰 If you're not a natural treats fan, why not try some veggie treats instead? They are:

Overall, natural treats can provide numerous benefits for your furry friend. By opting for treats made from whole, natural ingredients, you can support your dog's overall health and well-being while also providing them with tasty treats they'll love.
Until next time.
