Have you ever wondered if there’s a healthy alternative to pre-packaged dog treats? If so, you’ve come to the right place! There are ten different snacks that you can please your dog with, which are both healthy and tasty! Here are 5 out of those 10. 1. Cottage Cheese It may be a surprise to you, but most dogs actually love cottage cheese. One thing to keep in mind when purchasing it though is to buy the nonfat and low-sodium kind. The regular cottage cheese contains high sugar and fat percentages. 2. Sweet Potato Natural sugar is always better; that’s why sweet potato is one of the best healthy dog treats. Its’ sweetness and unique texture makes this snack popular among dogs. But not only is it delicious, it’s also a great source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, and fiber. 3. Baby Carrots All types of carrots are good for your dog, but baby carrots are often times sweeter and crunchier. If you have a puppy that is teething, you can give the pup carrots to help alleviate the symptoms. Also, carrots contain Beta Carotene, which helps maintain a healthy coat. 4. Apples Filled with vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber, apples are definitely healthy snacks. One thing to remember before feeding your dog apples is that the seeds are highly toxic for them. Never feed your dog apple seeds, the core, leaf, or stem. As long as these parts of the apple are avoided, your dog can enjoy this sweet and crunchy treat. 5. Green Beans Green beans are a good source of vitamin K, manganese, and vitamin C. They are also low in calories and can be fed to dogs that are on a diet. The majority of dogs like to eat green beans frozen.
