Fruits and vegetables can make great snacks for dogs. They can be a great way to provide healthy, low calorie treats compared to many commercial dog treats, and they can help maintain healthy body weight. Offer them in small pieces for a healthy, tasty treat, but not a replacement for daily food rations. Here are 10 ideas for fruit and veggie treats that your dog might love: Apples (without core or seeds) Asparagus (cooked) Blueberries, strawberries Brussel sprouts (cooked) Cantaloupe Green beans (cooked or raw) Pumpkin (cooked) Spinach (cooked) Sweet potatoes (cooked) Watermelon. Frozen fruits and veggies like frozen peas can be novel for your pet, and provide a cold, refreshing chew on a hot day. Be sure to thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables before feeding them to your pet, and remove any inedible rinds, cores, and seeds – they can create intestinal blockages and may contain toxic compounds.

Plain boiled chicken breast with no added seasoning or oils is a great healthy snack. It helps build muscle, is gentle on the stomach and the omega-6 fatty acids it contains help to keep their skin and coat healthy too. You could also try giving your dog salmon as this is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but it’s much higher in fat and ideally should be given occasionally and in small amounts. Peanut butter is a great source of protein, but you have to be careful which type you use, always avoid feeding them peanut butter that is high in salt and sugar and should not contain artificial sweeteners. Pumpkin and squash are packed full of fibre and vitamins that help keep your dog regular whilst also giving them a healthy-looking coat. Apple slices are a tasty crunchy treat for your dog, they're full of fibre and nutrients and may even help to freshen your dog’s breath, however apples are higher in sugar, so should be fed in moderation. There are several vegetables that you can give to your dog either cooked or raw, including carrots, broccoli, green beans, remember any fruits or vegetables should be cut into very small pieces. If your dog is on a prescription diet, or a special low-fat diet, then giving them a small amount of their normal dry food can be a great way to give them a treat without risking their health. Always ensure that the amount you give them is included in their daily allowance.

Some healthy treat options include: 1. Natural treats: These treats are simply dried meat pieces that offer a high protein content without any added preservatives or flavours. 2. Vegetables: Carrots or sweet potatoes can make great low-calorie snacks for dogs. They also provide essential vitamins and minerals. Natural is always better when it comes to healthy dog treats, look for treats made from real meat or vegetables as they are rich in proteins and fibres respectively. The best dog treats should be made from high-quality ingredients without any artificial preservatives or additives. They should also be low in fat and sugar to prevent obesity and other health issues. Homemade Treats: Making your own dog treats allows you to control exactly what goes into them. You can use wholesome ingredients like pumpkin, peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free), or oats. Dental Chews: These not only satisfy your dog’s chewing instinct but also help clean their teeth and freshen their breath.
