The world is your oyster when it comes to healthy, natural snacks for your dog!
We know how much dogs love rawhide “bone” wrapped in chicken. YUM! But, the reality is that feeding these to your dog on a regular basis actually isn’t very good for them. Not only are they hugely calorie dense (like equivalent to multiple doughnuts for dogs), but they require a lot of energy to break down in your dog's body, and that affects their energy and what that energy should be doing elsewhere in the body (healing).
With our dogs here at Guddog, we take a mixed approach, as let’s be real - dog’s just wanna have fun. There are some great veggie “bones” on the market as well as dried sprats and tapioca “bones” covered in chicken.
It is SO important to get fresh foods into your dogs diet and snacks are a great way to do this. Our dogs have both yummy chicken covered snacks as well as our faves below.
