Though they are on the market, some dog foods and treats are unhealthy and, in some cases, harmful to dogs. As responsible pet owners, be sure that you’re choosing the best and healthiest products when it comes to buying discount dog treats.

Here are some helpful hints and tips to think about when you’re at the store buying treats for your pet:

• Avoid rawhides and pig ears. These products are high in fat, and therefore difficult to digest.  They may cause blockages in the throat, stomach or intestines.  Furthermore, these products also cause excessive weight gain.
• Avoid unhealthy ingredients in dog food and dog treats.  Inspect the nutrition facts and the ingredients with caution. If you notice ingredients like artificial colors (such as FDC Red #40) or flavors, high levels of sodium, sugar, saturated or trans-fats, propyl gallate (a potentially cancer causing preservative), or high levels of cereal by-products, grain, or filler, then move on.
• Choose treats that are high in protein, and low in carbohydrates, which can cause obesity. Try gourmet dog treats high in protein, such as freeze dried liver, or turkey strips.
• Do not feed your dog pork or chicken bones.  These bones splinter and cause serious intestinal damage.  Try instead raw beef bones, a slow roasted beef knuckle or marrow bone.  These are unlikely to shatter, so they are healthier options.  However, bones are also high in fat, so do not feed these to your dog in excess.

If you don’t trust brand-name dog food companies, you can always try your own homemade recipe dog treats.  Or, for a simple and inexpensive treat, try freezing some dogdration in an ice tray to feed to your dogs!

Making dog treats at home can be a fun activity for you and the kids!  To choose which ones to make, make sure that you choose recipes for dog treats with healthy ingredients, and a recipe that you know your dog will love!  However, be aware that each dog has special and individual needs, so review each recipe to be sure that it is appropriate for your dog.

When making homemade dog treats, be sure to avoid the following ingredients, as they are unhealthy and even harmful to many dogs:

• Grapes and raisins
• Onions
• Garlic
• Chocolate
• Artificial sweeteners or artificial fats
• Raw meat, which can contain bacteria, salmonella, parasites or viruses

And some ingredients that are healthy for dogs:

• Meats
• Poultry
• Organ meats, liver (but do not overuse)
• Eggs
• Cultured dairy products such as yogurt, buttermilk, cheese
• Complex carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes, beans, legumes
• Fiber sources such as bran, fresh vegetables, whole-grains
