5 Tips to Choose Good Dog Treats

There is balance in everything that works well. Choosing a healthy dog treat should include, not only what your dog likes, or what is on sale, but what you know will be safe and healthy for your furry friend.

Just like you might give your kids a scoop of ice cream from time to time; you may give your dog his or her favorite dog treat, regardless of that extra ingredient, every now and then.  However, it is worth your time to make sure that the treats you give your dog on a regular basis, especially training treats, are going to work towards and not against your dogs long term health.

Here 5 things to keep in mind when choosing dog treats for normal day to day use.

1 - Choose a treat with the least amount of additives and preservatives.
2 - Choose a treat with low sugar and fat content.
3 - Choose a treat with higher protein.
4 - Choose a treat that will be easy for digestion.
5 - Choose a treat that can help keep teeth clean and healthy.

The next time you go shopping for healthy dog treats try to find dog treats that meet as many of the above criteria as possible.
