Some treats are about flavor, and others are about giving a dog something satisfying to work on, and these chew sticks were designed with the second goal in mind. Made from lean ground beef and finely chopped vegetables, then baked low and slow until firm and dense, these sticks give dogs a longer lasting chew…

Brothsicles have become one of my favorite discoveries for hot weather, mostly because they combine two things dogs love, broth and something cold, into one easy frozen treat. Adding grated carrot to the mix gives these a bit of texture and a boost of nutrition, turning a simple frozen broth cube into something that feels…

Some frozen treats are genuinely fine to reach for often, and this is one of the more reasonable ones to include in a daily routine, as long as “daily use” means a small, appropriately sized portion rather than an unlimited addition. Blueberry and banana are both low in fat, don’t require any dairy or peanut…

There’s something about the combination of yogurt and banana that feels like a treat even to me, so it made sense to turn it into something my dog could enjoy too.
