Dog Treats

Treats are vital for training your dog, especially with puppies. Food is one of the best ways to keep your dog focused and motivate them to obey commands. The best dog training treats should be small and delicious, and the smellier the better!  

Take these Thrive® ProReward Dog Treats, for example. Made from 100% beef liver and free from additives, these tasty small dog treats are the perfect choice to keep your dog's eyes on you while training. Remember, the higher value the treat, the more likely your dog will respond.

You may find you go through treats fast in training sessions, but don't worry! So long as you adjust your dog's meals to accommodate the extra treats, you're unlikely to overfeed your dog. 

Chewing is a natural urge for dogs, which is why many puppies (and some older dogs) will chew whatever they can get their paws on. The best way to prevent your dog from chewing shoes, furniture, or anything else they shouldn't be is to provide them with a different outlet. This is where dog chews come in.  

Most natural dog chew treats are safe for dogs and provide lots of health benefits. Antler chews, like these Antos Highland Natural Deer Antler Dog Chews, for example, won't splinter and also provide calcium and other minerals. We also offer a range of other long-lasting dog chews, like these Hollings® Bulls Pizzle Treats which are a great raw-hide alternative dog chew that will keep your dog engaged and distracted. 

Dog chews are a great treat for your dog and can help maintain dental health, relieve boredom, and even help with anxiety in dogs. Remember, digestible chew treats for dogs are not always recommended for daily consumption or suitable for puppies. Always read the feeding instruction.

Dog dental chews are popular with dog owners who struggle to clean their pet’s teeth with a brush and dog toothpaste. These dental care alternatives are available in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and flavours. There are also dental sticks available for dogs with sensitive stomachs and specific health conditions.

Purina dentalife oral care dental chews are a fan favourite, designed by experts to have a porous texture to scrub your dogs teeth.

Dental sticks work by scraping the surface of the teeth, gum line and inside of the mouth. If you’re giving your dog a dental stick for the first time, it’s best to supervise them and always provide fresh water. 

Key ingredients to look for in calming treats include chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm, which are well-known for their calming properties. Hemp and valerian root are popular choices too, as seen in these Forthglade® Soft Bites Calming Dog Treats.  

Made from natural ingredients, our range of calming treats are great for helping dogs of all ages to relax and unwind. Whether you want to help your dog relax at night or support them during stressful situations, our calming treats are perfect!  

Dog treats don't need to be boring to be healthy! Healthy dog treats often contain natural ingredients like vegetables and have naturally low salt, starch, and fat content. This is what makes these treats the perfect pick for any dog, even those who are watching their weight.  

We offer plenty of healthy and all-natural dog treats, including grain-free dog treats like this Arden Grangeᵀᴹ Premium Tasty Liver Paste Treat. Grain-free and hypoallergenic dog treats are great for dogs with food allergies as they contain few or no common allergens. This means your dog can enjoy a tasty treat without risking symptom flare ups.  

Healthy dog treats can be a great pick for puppies too because of their low fat content. This means you can introduce your puppy to training with treats early, so they get the hang of the basics without the risk of overfeeding. While most dog treats are safe for dogs of all ages, always remember to check the packaging before feeding treats to your puppy.  

Whether you're looking for a boredom breaker treat for your dog, or training treats to teach your dog new tricks, we have plenty in our range to choose from. If you're not sure which treat you need, you can contact our team. 

How often you give your dog treats will depend on your dog, their health, and the type of treats in question. Training treats, for example, are small and tasty treats that are often fine for a dog to have daily. Dog chews, however, may only be suitable for your dog to have once a week, or to only have for a set amount of time.  

Generally speaking, most dog treats are safe for daily consumption. However, try and vary the types of treats you give your dog. This will help keep things interesting for your dog and prevent them consuming too many of certain treats.  

Remember, treats should only make up 10% of your dog’s diet, so make sure to read the feeding instructions carefully for all your dog’s treats.  

No, unfortunately not all dog treats are suitable for puppies, especially not dog chews.  

This is because a puppy’s teeth and jaws are not as strong as an adult dog, and hard chews like Yakkers and antlers can damage a puppy’s baby teeth, and their adult teeth underneath as well. Always read the feeding instructions before giving any treats to your puppy to ensure they’re age appropriate.
