The Struggle is Real - Finding Natural Dog Treats
If you’re like me and absolutely love spoiling your pups with the best food and treats, you probably know the struggle of finding options that are actually natural. It seems like every bag on the shelf has some form of added sugar, fillers, or unnecessary ingredients. And when you’re trying to keep your pets healthy, that just doesn’t cut it!
The Sugar-Free Dog Treat Dilemma
One of my biggest pet peeves (pun intended!) is how challenging it is to find dog treats without any sugar. Even when brands claim to be “natural” or “healthy,” a closer look at the ingredients often tells a different story. From molasses to honey to cane sugar, those sneaky sweeteners always seem to make an appearance. But why? Dogs don’t need sugar—it’s just another unnecessary additive (Manucy, DVM, 2024).
The Perfect Find: Single-Ingredient Treats
After scouring the pet store shelves, I finally stumbled upon a game-changer: freeze-dried crunchy treats from Wiggles & Wags. They’re made from just one single ingredient—no fillers, no junk, just the good stuff. Exactly what I had been searching for!
Actual purchased and dog-approved Wiggles and Wags Freeze Dried dog treats.
When I first introduced them to my dogs, Lola and Koa, they were a little hesitant. If you’ve ever given your pup a new type of treat, you know the routine—lots of sniffing, suspicious side-eye, and maybe even a paw poke. 😂 But once they finally gave them a taste, they were hooked! Now, these treats have become my go-to high-value reward for training sessions.
Why Single-Ingredient Treats Matter
The beauty of single-ingredient treats is in their simplicity:
✔ No hidden sugars or fillers – Just pure, whole food nutrition.
✔ Easier on digestion – Many dogs have sensitivities to additives and preservatives.
✔ Great for training – High-value rewards keep pups engaged and motivated.
✔ Peace of mind – You know exactly what you’re feeding your dog.
