How to Choose the Right Treats in a Cost-Effective Way

The average cost of having a pet continues to grow, but that doesn’t mean your canine should feel the cutbacks. With dog treats, it’s not just a one-type-fits-all, as each pup may have different dietary requirements or snack preferences. With so many on the market, it can feel overwhelming to choose the perfect one, offering health benefits and not breaking the bank.

There are no doubts how much puppies love their food, so it comes as no surprise to how dog treats play an integral part in their training. They’re perfect for practicing commands and rewarding positive behaviour.

We’ve heard of bulk buying essentials for humans (a weekly ‘big shop’ always works out better than a daily trip to your local express store!) and the same can be done for your adorable pups. The Pointer Puppy Love treats available in a whopping 400g bag or 10kg box, are ideal! Simply grab a handful of treats from the bag and you’re good to go!

For meat-loving pooches, the Wagg Training Treats with Chicken & Cheese combine great taste with affordability – at £1.49 for a 125g pouch, they’re ideal in rewarding their training without risking them becoming bored of the taste. With peanut butter and banana to chicken and yogurt flavours, your small friends will be gleaming with joy!

Dogs are more than just a furry pet – they become family! We always want the best for them and while it may be tempting to save money by getting cheap dog treats, it can be a false economy. Natural dog treats aren’t as expensive as they’re often perceived to be.
