Vegetable Treats & Chews

Why would you choose to give your dog vegetable treats and chews, you may ask? Vegetable treats and chews such as veggie dental sticks are usually lower in fat and protein than meat based treats, allowing for example an owner to still reward their dog without worrying about their weight.

Vegetable treats are also high in vitamins, minerals, beneficial antioxidants and natural sugars that release energy into the bloodstream slowly over time. Super foods such as carrot and sweet potato are often included in vegetable chews, because they are naturally higher in beta carotene helping to boost your dogs immunity to disease and strengthen their eyesight. Vegetable treats are also highly digestible as they are rich in fibre and contain NO artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Also importantly vegetable treats and chews can often be given to a dog with dietary issues, such as food allergies, diabetes, liver and kidney disease. But we suggest you consult your vet if you have any concerns about feeding veggie treats to a dog with health issues. Dog treats don't need to contain any meat as they are not a replacement for a bag of complete food or raw diet.

As the treats and chews are vegetable based, it allows pet food manufacturers to create fun and novelty based treats with grooves, bumps and ridges to massage your dog's gums and help remove plaque and tartar build up. So why not spoil your dog today and order some healthy veggie treats for instance some Whimzee or Good Boy dental chews.
