If you're anything like me, you probably want the best for your dog—whether that’s a cosy bed, a squeaky toy that lasts more than five minutes, or a treat that doesn’t make you feel guilty the second you hand it over. That’s exactly why I started making the switch to natural dog treats a while back. And honestly? I haven’t looked back.
Here are a few reasons why I think they’re a better choice—and why I always recommend them to fellow dog owners:
1. You Know What You’re Feeding Them
Most natural treats have just a handful of ingredients, often just one. Duck necks? It’s duck. That’s it. No colours, no weird preservatives. It’s a relief, to be honest.
2. Way Easier on Their Stomach
My pup used to get the occasional upset tummy, especially around Christmas when the odd scrap would “accidentally” fall his way. Natural treats seem to sit much better with him—and save me a few clean-ups too.
3. Better Coat, Less Itching
Within a few weeks of switching, I noticed his coat looked glossier, and he wasn’t scratching as much. Treats like rabbit ears (which sound odd but dogs LOVE them) seem to do wonders for his skin.
4. Less Vet Worry in the Long Run
Good food = fewer problems. Since going natural, my dog’s weight has stayed on track, and his teeth are in great shape. Some treats even double as chews, so they help clean teeth too.
5. Peace of Mind
There’s just something nice about knowing I’m not giving him junk. No surprises. It makes me feel like I’m doing right by him.
6. They Actually Smell… Like Food
Have you ever opened a pack of standard dog biscuits and been hit with that synthetic stink? Natural treats smell like what they are. Which is good… unless you forget and leave a bag in your coat pocket (guilty).
7. Perfect for Fussy or Sensitive Dogs
Some dogs can’t handle wheat or certain fillers. Natural options often skip all the usual triggers, which makes life so much easier.
8. Dogs Genuinely Go Mad for Them
I’ve tested a lot of treats (perks of the job), and the natural ones always get the most tail wags. They just seem to taste better—probably because they’re made from real meat and not “meat flavouring.”
9. It Supports Local Farmers
I like knowing I’m buying from UK suppliers who actually care about their animals and their products. Feels good to support that kind of thing.
10. It’s a Simple Change That Makes a Big Difference
Of all the things I’ve done for my dog’s health, swapping out his treats for better ones was probably the easiest—and one of the most effective.
