What factors should you consider when choosing a treat for your dog?

At Maple Wind Farm, we get how much your dog means to you. Picking the right treat is a simple way to keep them healthy and happy. Here’s what to think about when choosing treats for your pup.

Nutrition Matters

Good treats should offer more than just flavor. Look for high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals without fillers, artificial additives, or extra sugars. Check the label for clear nutritional info—our Pasture Pet treats list it all on the back.

Size & Portion Control

Treats can add calories, so match them to your dog’s size, especially for smaller breeds. Follow portion guidelines based on their weight to keep them healthy. Our Pasture Pet treats can be broken into smaller pieces, and our training nibs are already bite-sized for easy rewarding.

Allergies & Sensitivities

Some dogs react to ingredients like grains, dairy, or certain proteins. Choose treats with simple ingredients and avoid known allergens. Test new treats in small amounts and watch for reactions over 24-48 hours. Always check labels for your dog’s specific needs.

Dental Health Benefits

Certain treats help clean teeth by encouraging chewing, which reduces plaque and tartar. Our Pasture Pet chicken feet are great for your dog’s chewing needs and support dental health with natural collagen.

Your Dog’s Preferences

Every dog has favorite flavors or textures. Try different treats to see what they love most. Finding the right one makes treat time special and strengthens your bond.

Quality & Source

Choose treats from trusted brands with high standards. Ingredients should be ethically sourced and produced safely. At Maple Wind Farm, we raise the animal proteins for Pasture Pet treats on our Vermont farm in a USDA-inspected facility, so you know they’re safe from start to finish.

Treats Show Care

Picking the right treat keeps your dog healthy and makes them feel loved. It’s about more than a snack—it’s about their well-being. Visit www.pasturepet.com to explore our wholesome options for your pup.
