Puppies love chewing on treats that are small in size and soft to chew – perfect for keeping their teeth clean and healthy! Puppies also need crunchy morsels that help promote good dental health!
Puppy snacks containing synthetic preservatives, food dyes and genetically-modified ingredients have been linked to skin rashes, itchy ears, dull fur and excess shedding in some instances. Instead, opt for treats made of natural ingredients with lower caloric intake.

1. Blue Ridge Naturals Pork & Sweet Potato Jerky Treats
Your pup loves to chew, but not all treats offer them the savory taste and satisfying texture they require to stay busy. That’s why Blue Ridge Naturals developed these jerky treats without all of the unnecessary additives found in other brands’ offerings – made in America without grain-free components or artificial preservatives or sweeteners, just real meaty flavour.
These nutritious treats contain vitamins such as B6 from pork to aid energy metabolism and brain function; iron from sweet potatoes for healthy blood cells; antioxidants, folate, magnesium and phosphorus – giving your pup the best life possible! Together with regular exercise, healthy diet and plenty of water supply, these wholesome treats can give him or her an amazing future!
2. Blue Ridge Naturals Beef Liver & Chicken Flaxseed Chews
Softer alternatives to rawhide chews, these treats are produced in the USA with low calories and use Cultured Dextrose as their preservative agent. Unlike Greenies treats which have been sued over animal deaths and false advertising claims, these treats should be safe for most dogs.
Trainers enjoy using them as an incentive during training sessions, and puppies and senior dogs with weak teeth find them easy to chew on. Plus, they’re an excellent alternative to hard biscuits which may be too difficult for some dogs. In terms of protein content they also outshone other treats like beef jerky while being richer than many. Unfortunately however, carrageenan remains controversial regarding long term biological safety despite providing omega-3 fatty acids, soluble fiber, and being an excellent source of knuckle bones which contain high amounts of phosphorus which some dogs may struggle to digest; hence why pregnant and nursing mothers shouldn’t give these treats either!
3. Riley’s Organic Dog Treats
Riley’s Organic dog treats are made from USDA-certified organic ingredients that have been verified non-GMO, vegan and made in the United States. Plus they’re free from corn, wheat, soy, animal by-products and preservatives for maximum convenience and peace of mind!
These sweet potato-shaped treats are made using only five simple, nutritious ingredients: organic sweet potatoes, organic oat flour, organic rye flour, peanut flour and molasses. Plus, they’re free of common allergens such as wheat, corn and soy as well as GMOs, added salt or sugar!
These treats are designed for training and chewing purposes while helping remove plaque from your pup’s teeth. Plus, they’re packed full of protein, antioxidants and vitamins – great ways to keep them feeling happy and healthy!
4. Blue Ridge Naturals Organic Frozen Yogurt
If you enjoy spending your days outside with your pup, a delicious frozen treat is an ideal way to stay cool in the heat! These healthy frozen yogurt treats contain organic sweet potato, peanut butter and natural fruit flavors for a fun twist – an easy and affordable alternative to store-bought dog ice cream. With just three simple ingredients and an inexpensive popsicle mold you can whip these treats up at home in minutes!
This delectable frozen treat is made of real yogurt, known to help ease tummy troubles in dogs. Pumpkin is another healthy source of fiber which contributes to regularity and comfort in their stomachs. Plus, there are billions of special probiotics added for extra digestion support and overall wellness support for your dog!
Homemade yogurt frozen treats for your dog can also be made by pouring plain, unsweetened low fat yogurt into an ice cube tray and adding a small amount of xylitol-free peanut butter (available from natural food stores). Your pup will love chewing these yummy snacks while benefitting from essential nutrition in their diet!
