The Truth About Dog Treats
Description
In this episode of For the Love of Dogs (and Their Humans!), Deb dives into the often-overlooked world of dog treats—because let’s be honest, they’re not just for “special occasions” anymore. Treats have become part of our daily communication with our dogs, which means what’s in them really matters.
You’ll learn:
Why ingredients count (even if you can’t pronounce them)
How treats affect not just your dog’s waistline, but their behaviour and focus
The difference between high-value and low-value treats—and when to use each
What to look for (and avoid) when shopping for store-bought treats
Why cheese and peanut butter aren’t always the golden training tools they seem to be
And how a dehydrator might just become your new best friend
Plus, a gentle reminder that fancy packaging doesn’t equal quality, and a little nudge to feed smarter—not just more.
Whether you’re knee-deep in training or just trying to avoid sugar-packed snacks in a cute disguise, this episode is full of bite-sized, easy-to-digest tips to help you make better treat choices for your best mate.
