Mostly comprised of natural by-products from the meat, fish and poultry industries, these are not only a healthier option to processed dog treats but are also great if you are looking for a more sustainable alternative. Why it's Important to Choose Natural Treats for Your Dog A Balanced Diet Natural treats are great for providing a balanced diet for your dog. They are generally higher in protein and fibre and lower in fat than processed dog treats. They can also help aid in digestion, as they are free from additives and filler content that can be fattening for dogs. This makes them a great option for dogs on a strict diet, as they will provide the satisfaction of other treats with fewer calories. Wholesome and Nutritional Natural treats are free from added hormones and antibodies, which, when present in other treats, can cause a harmful buildup in your dog that can lead to hyperactivity, weakened immune system and a range of other health conditions. Generally natural treats are also less likely to cause an allergic reaction in your dog as they are free from added allergens, such as gluten. Promoting Health Aside from not containing added chemicals or sweeteners that can be harmful to your dog's teeth, natural treats can actively help to improve your dog's oral health and hygiene. The act of chewing natural treats helps to break down plaque, tartar and dirt that can accumulate in your dog's mouth, and help develop teeth as they grow. Some treats are also great for promoting a healthy skin and coat, particularly fish treats. Improved Wellbeing The act of chewing dog treats is great for keeping your dog engaged, improving their mental wellbeing and reducing stress. They also don't cause irritation like highly processed treats can, maintaining a healthy balance between your dog's digestive system, brain and heart. This increases your dog's energy, develops stronger immunity, lowers the risk of certain diseases, and generally keeps your dog happy and healthy. Rawhide Treats for Dogs Made from the inner layer of cow hide, rawhide chews have long been considered a great and long-lasting treat for dogs who might go through other chews too quickly. The hides are cleaned and cut, then pressed and rolled into various shapes and sizes. Our available rawhide chews are: CigarsTwistsPressed bones (these are available filled with a pizzle or a piece of tripe running through their middle)KnotsShoesBallsRings As with all natural chew products, particularly harder chews such as bones or hide, there is a minimal risk of choking or blockage with rawhide chews. Always supervise your dog when giving them rawhide treats and never leave them unattended. Ensure fresh water is available. Larger sizes of rawhide chews may not be suitable for smaller dogs. The risks associated with rawhide chews are small but can cause severe damage if left unattended. If you have any concerns always consult your vet before giving treats to your dog.
