As with kibble and other food types, lots of the ingredients commonly found in dog treats cause upset tummies and other problems in huskies and sled dogs.
It is best to avoid giving your husky treats with WHEAT and SOYA in them.
The best treats we have found for huskies are those made of fish skins, rice, vegetables and fruit.
We often give our own dogs treas from the Grizzly Dog Treats
range. Their Grizzly Salmon Fillet Treats
are made of 100% pure salmon.
Fruitables
make a range of all-natural, fruit-based dog treats. Varieties include
Pumpkin & Apple,
Pumpkin & Banana,
Pumpkin & Blueberry,
and Pumpkin & Cranberry
treats, all free of wheat, corn, soy, by-products, and artificial ingredients and preservatives.
We have also found that Zuke's Mini Naturals
suit our dogs well. They are free from wheat and soy and have contain many beneficial vitamins and minerals.
We like to give our own dogs the salmon
variety as we feel that the fish oils are beneficial.
Dog Nip
have a range of treats made of fish-skins stuffed with sweet potato.
They have Salmon Skin Knotted Bones
made using wild line caught Pacific salmon, and
Sweet Potato Stuffed Cod Skin Strips,
both free from wheat and soy.
Making your own home made biscuits and treats is a definitely the best idea if you have the time and you enjoy baking!
There are loads of recipes out there on the web; we would recommend trying to stick to basic, natural ingredients, and avoiding wheat flour if possible.
There are also some great 'cook books' for dog owners available, which also make wonderful gifts if you're ever stuck for something to buy for friends with dogs.
