Treat Your Pup Right: 3 Healthy & Natural Pet Snacks They’ll Love! By Nancy Hierl, CEO & Founder of Ruff Town Rescue

As pet lovers, we would always like to think we do what's best for our fur babies. From regular visits to the vet to taking them for a daily walk, all that we do is for their best interest. However, when treats come around, are we doing what we should? Not all pet treats are alike—some include artificial preservatives, additives, and unhealthy fillers that can do harm to your pet. 


Here at Ruff Town Rescue, we strive to supply only the finest, natural, and healthy pet treats to make your pet happy and healthy. 

 

Nancy Hierl, CEO & Founder of Ruff Town Rescue, states, “Our pets deserve the same level of care in their diet as we do. That’s why we’ve curated a collection of premium, single-ingredient pet treats designed to provide optimal nutrition without harmful additives.” 

 

Understanding Healthy vs. Unhealthy Pet Treats 

 

Unhealthy Pet Treats: What to Avoid 

Most dog treats sold commercially contain artificial flavorings, chemical preservatives, and fillers that can lead to long-term health problems in your dog. As a pet lover, it's essential to be aware of the worst ingredients found in low-quality pet treats, including:: 

 

  • Corn Syrup – Unnecessary sugar content that can lead to obesity and diabetes. 
  • Artificial Flavors & Colors – Chemical-based additives that may cause allergies and digestive issues. 
  • Chemical Preservatives – Such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin, which have been linked to health concerns. 
  • Xylitol – A sugar substitute that is highly toxic to dogs. 
  • Rendered Animal Fat – Can contain harmful toxins and bacteria. 
  • Processed Meat Byproducts – Often sourced from low-quality meats that provide little nutritional value. 

    By avoiding these ingredients, you can protect your dog from unnecessary health risks and ensure they live a longer, healthier life. 

     

    Healthy Pet Treats: What to Look For 


     

    Natural, nutritious dog treats should be made with high-quality, single-ingredient proteins that support your pet’s overall health. The benefits of healthy dog treats include: 

     

    • Improved Digestion – Free from grains and artificial additives, making them easy on sensitive stomachs. 
    • Stronger Immunity – Packed with essential vitamins and minerals to boost overall health. 
    • Better Dental Health – Natural texture helps clean teeth and promote gum health. 
    • Increased Energy & Vitality – Nutrient-rich ingredients provide the fuel your pet needs. 
    • Healthy Skin & Coat – Omega-3 fatty acids support skin hydration and coat shine.
