Somewhat unsurprisingly, one of the best treats you can offer your dog is actually just a piece of it's kibble, especially for food motivated pups, that way more of their nutritional requirements will be met. For special occasions or pickier pups, the following treats are great tasty, healthy options.
A single ingredient your dog will love that won't break the bank.
Only 7 calories in a treat, which can be easily torn into smaller pieces or molded around a pill for easy administration of medication. Greenie's Pill Pockets and Vetriscience Pinchers are similar, and also a good recommendation, but they both are a bit higher in calories.
Delicious and nutritious, this is a common tool used in vet clinics to get patients on our good side. Comes in a variety of meats.
Every time I compliment a client on their pet's dental health, they either say they are brushing their pet's teeth daily or giving their pet daily Greenies. If you're going to treat your dog, you might as well give the bonus benefit of better oral health. This isn't exactly a low-cal treat, but for an effective treat/dental chew combo, its reasonable.
