The Ultimate Guide to Ostrich Dog Treats: A Healthy & Hypoallergenic Choice

The Ultimate Guide to Ostrich Dog Treats: A Healthy & Hypoallergenic Choice

If you're looking for a nutritious, natural, and hypoallergenic treat for your dog, Ostrich Dog Treats from PetBuddy are the perfect choice! These unique treats offer a variety of health benefits while being highly digestible and low in fat.

Let’s explore why your furry friend will love them!


Why Choose Ostrich Dog Treats?

Ostrich meat and bones are becoming increasingly popular in the world of natural dog treats, and for good reason! Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Hypoallergenic & Ideal for Sensitive Dogs

Many dogs suffer from food allergies or intolerances, often triggered by common proteins like chicken or beef. Ostrich is a novel protein, making it an excellent alternative for dogs with sensitivities.

2. High in Protein, Low in Fat

Ostrich treats are packed with lean protein, essential for maintaining strong muscles and overall health. Unlike traditional meat treats, ostrich is naturally low in fat, making it ideal for dogs prone to weight gain or those on a low-fat diet.

3. Supports Dental Health

Chewing on Ostrich Bones or Ostrich Tendons helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup, keeping your dog’s teeth and gums healthy. The natural chewing action also satisfies their instinct to gnaw, promoting mental stimulation.

4. Highly Digestible & Gentle on the Stomach

Unlike heavily processed treats, Ostrich treats are easy to digest and suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs. They provide essential nutrients without artificial additives or fillers.

5. Rich in Essential Nutrients

Ostrich meat is naturally rich in iron, zinc, and omega fatty acids, which support a healthy coat, strong immune system, and overall vitality.

Getting veggies into your dog's diet

Getting veggies into your dog's diet

If your dog is anything like mine, veggies are treated like an alien object never to be consumed.  I aways thought I would have dogs like the ones in the funny videos who gobble up broccoli, cronch down on a french bean and even snap up a sprout.  But alas no, my Mila and Enzo are veg dodgers through and through, eating around sweetcorn when I add it to their good, spitting out bits of peppers however small I chop them. 

But veggies are a crucial part of our dog's diets, they are an important source of fibre and contain lots of vitamins, minerals and antioxidents that are not found in meat.  

Have you ever tried dehydrating vegetables?  Well I have and let me tell you, it's a game changer!  Dehydrating veg makes them chewy and some dogs are all about texture. This way you know exactly what you are giving your pup and know it's 100% natural. 

Also cooking veg changes the texture and also releases lots of yummy smells, dogs work things out through smell so filling the air with the scents of tasty veggies may work a treat! 

Sometimes it's a case of offering nothing else and waiting it out and other times, finding something that your dog will love that already contains lots of vegetables.  

Our Veggie Bakes contain no fewer than 10 different types of fruit and vegetables, including sweet potato, apple, coconut and courgette! These have been a sure fire hit with Mila and Enzo. It gets lots of the right fibres, vitamins and minerals in them and they don't turn their little brown noses up at them! 

 

Try these tips above and let me know how you get on!

How To Choose Dog Treats Suitable For Small Breed Dogs

How To Choose Dog Treats Suitable For Small Breed Dogs

Small dogs have different nutritional needs compared to larger breeds. When you are buying treats for your dogs, there are some questions that you will need to ask yourself:

  • Will it be too big for my dog’s mouth?
  • Will my dog be able to chew through it?
  • Will it upset my dog’s diet?

Here are 5 tips that can help you to choose the right dog treats for your smaller dog.

Check The Calorie Content

Smaller dogs need fewer calories than larger ones, so one of the first things that you need to do is to check the nutritional label to ensure that you don’t choose treats that exceed the recommended calorie intake for your dog’s size. You want to make sure that you are not overfeeding your dog as this isn’t healthy either.

Look For Natural Ingredients

When selecting dog treats for your dog, it is always better to choose treats that contain natural ingredients such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Try and avoid treats with artificial ingredients and preservatives. However it is important to note that just because some treats have good nutritional value, you still cannot feed your dog too many of them as this can be bad for their stomachs. Only feed your dog the recommended amount that is on the back of the packaging.

Choose Treats That Provide Essential Nutrients

You will want to look for treats that offer essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. These can help to support your pup’s overall health. Similar to humans dogs also need their share of vitamins and minerals to help maintain good health, so yes give them treats but also make sure they are getting their nutritional value for the day.

Keep Treats Small

Small dog treats are the key to keeping a training session moving along. For small dogs use tiny pieces or cut larger ones into small pieces. The smaller treats are also kinder to your dog’s waistline, as we mentioned previously you do not want to overfeed your dog as this is extremely unhealthy. Keeping your treats small means that fewer calories are being consumed and your dog will not get too full over their training session.

Pay Attention To The Treats That Your Dog Likes

Whatever treats that you are feeding to your dog it is important to take notice of what treats they do and do not like. A well-fed dog is a happy dog and just because a certain treat works for one dog doesn’t mean that it will for another. Figuring out what treats your dog likes and what is suited to your dog all comes down to trial and error. Dogs rely on us to know what works best for them so make sure to pay attention!

As we have said it is so important to choose treats that are right for your small dog. Just remember to do all of the research that you possibly can. If you are interested in buying some new dog treats for your dog. At PetBuddy we have a great range of treats including Pure SticksTraining Treats, a great Longer Lasting range, and so much more. If you are interested in shopping with us then feel free to visit our website.

Waste Not, Want Not

Waste Not, Want Not

When setting up PetBuddy I really wanted to be as ethical as possible and one of the ways to do this is to make sure that our treats are ethically sourced and that our suppliers only work with farmers who treat their animals well in line with regulations and good standards of care. 

Another way we can be as ethical as possible is to ensure that as little of the animal is being wasted as needed. Did you know that dogs can eat almost all parts of an animal?  Take a buffalo for example, as well as the meat, dogs can eat the tendon, the gullet, skin and even the horns!  

 

Each part of an animal has various health benefits from being great for teeth, bones, brain and heart development and helping to build a stronger immune system.  We all want to make sure that our pups are as healthy as they can be and live a long and happy life, and if we can make sure that parts of the animal that can help are used, then it's win win! 

Even more obscure parts of the animal like the penis, Pizzle as it's more commonly known, make an amazing long lasting chew! Mila and Enzo absolutely love Pizzle, it lasts ages and it's high in protein which aids muscle and tissue repair as well as being a natural source of Taurine which is perfect for heart health.

What about the bladder? Yep, you guessed it, it makes a delicious treat for dogs, it's naturally high in vitamins and minerals as well as being great for dental hygiene for teeth and gums! 

The ears? Yep, perfect for dogs!  Rabbit Ears with hair are widely believed to be a great natural dewormer. Pig Snouts? You got it, amazing for dogs, full of natural vitamins and minerals! 

There really is very little of the animal that can't be used to make a perfect treat or chew for your pup, so why not check out what else we have, you'll be surprised I'm sure!
