Natural dog treats popularity is quickly growing, and there are so many health benefits it’s easy to understand why. A hairy rabbit’s ear or duck foot may not sound the most appetising but your dogs will love them. In this blog, we’re going to explore the benefits of natural treats.
10 Benefits of natural treats
One of the main benefits of our natural treats is that they’re 100% animal, there are no additives or preservatives in there – they’re all exactly what they say on the tin. This makes them great for keeping your dogs healthy and you can ensure you’re only giving them the best.
1. Stronger Immunity
Just like us, dogs require a well-balanced diet to stay fit and healthy, natural treats help to give your dogs the range of nutrients that their bodies need. Protein is super important for boosting your dog's immunity and natural treats are rich in protein making them the perfect treats for your pooches.
2. Better Digestion
Dog's stomachs haven’t developed to handle artificial chemicals that are found in a lot of processed dog food. This is one of the key benefits of natural treats – the lack of additives and artificial chemicals means it’s easier for your dog to digest and they’re able to absorb all the important nutrients that their bodies need.
3. Dental and oral health support
Four out of five dogs over the age of three suffer from dental problems. Natural treats are great for keeping your dog's teeth clean, when your dog is chewing on these natural crunch teeth it will help to clean their teeth and get rid of any dirt that’s built up.
4. Natural Dewormers
Treats with hair on, such as hairy rabbits ears, are actually natural dewormers. The hair helps to cleanse their digestive system and flush out any nasties.
5. Healthier Skin and Coats
Give your dogs the glossy coats you’ve always dreamed of with natural treats, the healthy fats in them will help give their coats that special shine. The blend of nutrients in natural treats can help with skin allergies in dogs, healing and moisturising any outbreaks as well as preventing any future ones. Natural treats are rich in vitamin A which is essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and teeth.
6. Fewer Allergies
Many mainstream dog treats have additives such as grain to help bulk them out, many dogs are actually allergic to grain and often suffer from upset stomachs because of this. Our Natural treats don’t contain any of these hidden allergens and the high levels of vitamin C in many natural dog treats help the white blood cells to fight off any potential reactions or illnesses.
7. Naturally calming
Studies have shown that when dogs chew it is a natural anxiety reliever, it releases endorphins in your dogs brain so helps to calm them down. Dried Natural Treats are perfect for your dogs to chew on, they are often long-lasting so also act as a great boredom buster.
8. Air Dried
Our natural treats are air dried which means the treats are protein and nutrients rich. Once the moisture has been dried out of the natural treat, it means the proteins and nutrients are much more concentrated. This makes natural treats so much more rewarding and tastier for your dogs.
9. Single Protein Source
Some mainstream dog treats will combine different proteins together, however, if your dog has an allergy to certain proteins this can make finding treats for them difficult. Natural treats are an easy way to make sure your dog is only getting the proteins that agree with them and that they love. The Wild Deli treats are perfect for picking the proteins your dogs know and love.
10. Rawhide Free
All of our natural dog treats are rawhide-free! Rawhide is bad for your dog, they are ladened with chemicals and are difficult for your dogs to digest. Natural treats are a great alternative, they are long-lasting and are great for your dog inside and out.
