How to "TREAT" our Dogs

Our Dogs have become an intricate part of our family.  As with children, we nurture them with love, admiration, respect,understanding, tolerance and forgiveness.  We also nourish them with provisions of food and other things needed to help them develop and grow stronger.  Guardians, now more than ever are becoming more concerned about the foods they are feeding their trusted K-9s, Furkids, Best  Friends, Side kicks or  any other terms of endearment they choose to call them, and they want to feed them foods that are healthy.  Shouldn't this be the same about the treats they are giving to them.  Yes, it is "only a treat", but shouldn't this treat be just as healthy and nutritious as their food.  Ask yourself this question, "Why do I give them a treat?"  Is it out of love, training, good behavior or all the above.  What you do know is they enjoy every bit of the treat you hand to them and they take it with enthusiasm and excitement.  Sure, there are a lot of treats out on the market nowadays from the old fashioned milk bone to the gourmet biscuit treats.  Which to choose you wonder or do you just purchase the one showing a dog eagerly accepting the treat from their human's hands printed on the box saying to yourself, "Dog's Must Like It" so mine should too paying never mind what this treat is made of, or do you research the ingredients.

With all the treats on the market today, it can be overwhelming and confusing as to which treat you should provide for your pup.  How does one choose? Which are the healthiest?  The first and most important thing you can do is read the ingredients.  Don't be fooled by the colorful packaging, pictures or words on the front, what is written on the ingredient label is the key to a healthy biscuit treat.  You want to look for organic, all natural products and be sure to stay away from any refined sugars (under any name except for "natural sugars such as honey, black strapped molasses), by-products - parts of the animal that isn't fit for human consumption (if it isn't good for us, why feed it to our dogs).  Biscuits that incorporate vegetables (contrary to what is said, veggies are good for our dogs providing they are steamed, cooked or minced.) Watch out for high calorie treats (an overweight dog is an unhealthy dog.)  The texture of the biscuit treat might not seem all to important, and it is true that ingredients and calories are more significant when choosing a healthy and nutritious dog biscuit treat but the texture of the biscuit treat is worth mentioning.  When our dogs chew on hard, crunch biscuit treats, the treat is helping remove the plaque build up from around their teeth, unless of coarse it is a senior dog who may have more difficulty chewing, then you would want to provide them with a softer, healthier treat.
