subject: Variety Of Treats For Fido [print this page] There are a variety of treats for Fido and depending on what type you are looking for you can find the perfect snack for your pet. From natural and nutritious, for better dental hygiene or as a method for instilling good behavior, there are many treats to choose from.
Most brands have come a long way from the old standby of biscuits that are crunchy and crumble like a cookie. Today, most are preservative free, no additives or hormones, or 100% natural. Soy can be an additive so you'll want to check in advance to see if the product includes that as an ingredient.
Depending on the age of your dog, check with your vet as to which one is best for them. Bully sticks made with bull tendon and a mixture of fats is easy to digest in most dogs. Pigs ears are preservative free and long lasting for chewing. Lambs lungs are soft and gentle enough for puppies and geriatric dog digestion. Dental chews come in fun shapes and sizes that notably help reduce plaque, tartar and bad breath in your dog.
Dog treats are handy for behavior correction. You never want your dog to chew on your shoes, and by giving a dog treat made out of beef tendons strips, tenderloin or flavored rawhide you can positively reinforce what is acceptable for chewing and what is not. They are long lasting and soften with use. Your canine companion can find hours of enjoyment with any of these products.
You can use a dog treat for a variety of ways. It can be a wonderful incentive when you are training them based on a reward system. When you specifically have a treat designated for training sessions with your dog, their performance can increase with just the right bit of prompting. Either way, dogs will just find them yummy.
