3 Reasons to consider grain- free treats for your dogs
So many dogs have sensitive stomachs: food allergies, sensitivity to seasonal shifts that manifest in an upset stomach or a more positive reaction to protein than carbohydrates.
Defining Grain-Free in Baked Treats
The first thing most dog parents think about when they hear “grain-free” is no wheat, corn, rice, soy or barley. That’s correct. While many dogs can tolerate these, many can’t and it shows in itchy skin, hives, yeasty ears, low energy and diarrhea. A multi-ingredient grain-free treat can be baked, however, using sweet potato, chickpea flour, pumpkin or coconut flour. These binders should help the dog reduce digestive stress, have less gas and bloating.
Meat Treats Smell Enticing
The nose knows when it comes to every canine encounter- including single ingredient meat treats. First the scent then the taste and, finally, the wagging tail.
2. Fewer ingredients mean fewer gastric distress risks
Giving your dog a Chicken Bite or Sweet Potato Chip means just that. Your dog is getting a single ingredient treat with no surprises.
3.Go With What You know when there’s Change
If you’re moving your home, going on a long car ride or having a house full of guests, stick with a treat that you know your dog will love and tolerate. Changes like these can upset a dog’s constitution. A Bully Stick or Naturally Shed Elk Antler may keep your dog occupied and their tummy calm.
