Top 5 Healthy, Natural Dog Treats - Australian Dogs Adore
Share
As dog owners, we all want the best for our furry companions. From ensuring they get enough exercise to finding the right vet, every choice matters. But when it comes to treats, the options can be overwhelming. What makes a treat truly healthy?
Look for treats made from:
- Natural ingredients, free from artificial preservatives, additives, and fillers.
- Preferably, single-ingredient real meat treats and chews are what they've evolved to eat. So, those treats in the aisles of the supermarket are usually a no go....
Every dog has unique tastes, and factors like smell, texture, color and flavour play a big role in whether they’ll enjoy a treat. While some dogs love the strong aroma of fish, others might prefer the rich taste of red meat. Generally, dogs are instinctively drawn to real meat treats—they align with what our furry friends were meant to eat. To help you navigate the choices, we’ve got you covered!
But first, here are some tips to better help you decide on what treats are healthy for your dog!
Why Healthy Dog Treats Matter: Tips for Choosing the Best
Here are some tips to help you select the best healthy and natural dog treats:
Check the Ingredients: Look for treats with simple, natural ingredients. Avoid products with artificial preservatives, additives, or fillers. Treats that are dehydrated or freeze dried and made from a single protein source are often the healthiest. That's what our pups are used to eating!!!
Consider Nutritional Value: Treats should complement your dog’s diet, not replace it. High-protein options or treats rich in essential vitamins and minerals are ideal for supporting your pup’s health (most dogs can't get all their essential nutrients from store bough kibble).
Think About Allergies: If your dog has food sensitivities, choose hypoallergenic options made from unique proteins like kangaroo or fish (You may not know that chicken is one of the most common allergies amongst our furry friends).
Focus on Texture and Purpose: For dental health, opt for chewy treats like teeth cleaners or jerky that can help reduce tartar buildup. For training, softer, bite-sized treats work best.
Know Your Dog’s Preferences: Every dog is unique. While some may love the strong aroma of fish treats, others might prefer the mild flavor of chicken. Experiment with different types to find your dog’s favorite.
Remember, treats are a way to reward and bond with your furry friend, so choosing high-quality options ensures both health and happiness!
1. Kangaroo Teeth Cleaners: A Hypoallergenic Treat for Dental Health
If your pup struggles with plaque buildup, Roo Cleaners are a game-changer. These chewy treats are made from dehydrated kangaroo pelvis, a lean chew that’s rich in protein and low in fat. Being dehydrated also means that the chew is fully digestible and usually crumbles rather than splinter (PRO TIP - Look for dehydrated chews for a safer chewing option for your dog! Of course, still keep an eye on them while they're enjoying their special treat).
These chews are naturally hypoallergenic, making them an excellent choice for dogs with sensitive stomachs or allergies. Plus, they promote dental health by helping to clean your dog’s teeth as they chew. So, why give your dog a chemical filled and coloured dental stick that they barely chew anyway when you have much better natural alternatives!
Why dogs love it: The tough texture keeps them entertained for hours, and the rich, meaty flavour is irresistible.
2. Beef Liver Snaps: Crunchy, Nutritious, and Perfect for Training
Beef liver is a nutrient powerhouse, full of essential vitamins and minerals like iron and B12.

3. Fish Fingers: Natural Omega-3 Rich Treats for Joint and Coat Health
Made from 100% Aussie flathead fish, Fish Fingers are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy skin, joint health and a shiny coat. These treats are perfect for dogs that need a little extra joint support or suffer from allergies. Omega 3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and have been shown to reduce the risk of age related diseases like heart disease arthritis in dogs.

These chews are made from 100% natural emu bone, a unique protein that’s rich in nutrients like Emu oil. Naturally found in these chews, provides anti-inflammatory benefits that can support joint health and reduce discomfort in aging dogs.

Why dogs love it: The bone marrow contains a matrix of nutrients and a meaty aroma that dogs cant resist. They will chew for hours and still be begging for more!
5. Chicken Breast Treats: A Simple, Lean, High-Protein Option
For a simple, high-protein treat, you can’t go wrong with chicken breast. These treats are made from 100% natural chicken and contain no additives or preservatives. They’re ideal for dogs of all sizes and life stages. Also dogs that require lean, low fat options and owners who don't like meaty smelling treats (they smell fantastic).
