Your dog deserves the best treats that also serve a happy and healthy purpose. At Jeffers, we offer a variety of options to help your pet achieve their best lifestyle including low-calorie, rawhide-free, grain-free, single-ingredient, all-natural treats, bully sticks and so much more. Treats are more than just a reward for your pup. It can help sustain your dog's health and also assist in training them with a good reward. Using training treats to encourage behavior through food is a great alternative to other, more strict methods of training.
Why use dog treats?
Dog treats can be a great reward system for your pup, but they can also serve a specific purpose such as assisting in a health-regimen or treating a behavioral symptom. For example, dog chews can help alleviate nervousness and may release stress through the act of chewing. There are also dental treats that can assist with maintaining a healthy mouth in dogs. With so many benefits to giving them treats and the fact that most of them have a long shelf-life, it can be prudent both for the dog-owner and the dog to buy in bulk. There is also typically a price advantage to bulk buying them.
Should I buy or make my own dog treats?
It depends on your dog's needs. Some people prefer homemade ones because they can control what goes into the treat. While that is an option for some, there are many owners out there that do not have the skills - or the time - do make homemade dog treats. A great alternative to making your own ones with a recipe is to look for ingredients that fit your dog's needs and align with their dietary necessities.
