Healthy Dog Treats Straight From Your Kitchen!

Healthy Dog Treats for Your Pup!

#1 Sardines. Keep a bag of these little fish—rich in Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA—in your freezer and dole them out to your dog frozen for a treat he’ll go crazy for these healthy dog treats! Dogs also love canned sardines—just choose a variety packed with water and no salt added. Treated once a week, sardines are a great whole-food way to add fish oil to your pup’s diet!

#2 Homemade liver treats. ‘Nuff said. These healthy dog treats will earn some extra adoration from your dog when you whip up them up. You can try these other homemade dog treats too!

#3 Air-popped popcorn is a healthy treat you can share with your dog! Skip the butter and salt and instead dust it with “vegan crack,” aka nutritional yeast for a non-dairy nutty-cheesy taste you and your dog will both love. Avoid giving your dog the unpopped kernels and never give your dog baker’s yeast.

#4 Cottage cheese. Take your dog’s dinner to flavour town by adding in a small spoon of cottage cheese. It’s a great way to add some extra protein and calcium to your dog’s diet. Just give a small amount though, as it is dairy and can upset some dogs’ stomachs.

#5 Sweet potatoes. Dogs love this sweet tuber. In our experience, they even like the skin when the sweet potato has been baked in the oven! Add a bit of baked or boiled sweet potato to your dog’s dinner, or find our recipe for easy dehydrated sweet potato chews 

#6 Organic coconut pieces, sliced and dehydrated. Dogs love the naturally sweet taste of coconut, which is—bonus!—great for their health as it’s high in fiber and healthy fats, promoting a glossy coat, among many other health benefits. Be sure to choose a nothing added, unsweetened variety, such as Cocotherapy's Coconut Chips
