If you’ve already got your dog on a healthy diet of kibble or wet food, why skimp on nutritious snacks? Here are all-natural and nourishing three treat makers to consider for your puppy’s next reward:
Cloudstar
Ah, Cloudstar- Scribbles absolutely loves the entire line of Dynamo Dog treats, which is fantastic by itself, but since each rectangular treat is filled with wholesome ingredients and was scientifically designed to improve the health of her joints, tummy and coat, I’m just as big of a fan of Cloudstar’s gourmet goodies. I think that her current favorite is the super-soft “Hip & Joint Bacon & Cheese” flavor, but she tore through the grain and gluten free “Chicken” and “Salmon” variants too. If you’re skeptical, this ingredient list for “Bacon & Cheese” has to be healthier than most human bacon-based snacks:
“Pork, chickpea flour, potato flour, tapioca starch, maple syrup, vegetable glycerine, glucosamine hydrochloride, bacon, cheddar cheese, carrots, apples, spinach, cherries, sweet potatoes, cranberries, natural flavor, yucca, salt, salmon oil, green lipped mussel, phosphoric acid, chondroitin sulfate, parsley, ginger, sorbic acid (as preservative), vitamin C, vitamin E, chamomile, turmeric, manganese, vitamin B, citric acid, mixed tocopherols (as preservative), rosemary.”
Isle of Dogs
The Isle of Dogs brand features a wide range of natural products including shampoos and odor sprays, but they have an excellent selection of healthful treats as well. These meatless goodies are all geared to help in various ways, such as the oat, barley and apple based “Smile” crunchy tooth-cleaning snacks and their gluten, additive and filler free “Skin,” “Breath” and overall “Health” treats. Check out this simple and effective ingredient rundown for Isle of Dogs’ “Smile” treats:
“barley flour, oat flour, rice flour, cane molasses, flaxseed, whole rolled oats, dried skim milk, canola oil(preserved with mixed tocopherols), organic apples, dried kelp, brewer’s dried yeast, dried parsley flakes, yucca shidigera extract.”
Healthy Dogma
This Michigan-based dog bakery has plenty of room to boast about its variety of simple and healthy treats. Healthy Dogma’s treats organic, grain and gluten free treats range from impressively unique and healthy bison, whitefish, duck and apple-based bone shaped “Barkers” cookies, to simple apple and banana crisps. Let’s take a closer look at those fancy Bison Barkers:
