Gifts for Puppies:
One of the biggest hurdles to owning a puppy is potty training and most methods involve positive reinforcement through treats. It is important for these treats to be bite-sized and nutritious, since they will be needing a lot of treats in the beginning. We recommend our Downtown Barkery Freeze-Dried Treats for training because they are perfect-sized, single-ingredient, and packed with protein.
Puppies tend to want to eat their food as fast as possible, which can cause dangerous stomach issues and bloating. Slow feeders are the perfect solution to this issue, they slow down mealtimes and involve mental or physical activity. Snuffle Mats are a great option for young pups because they engage the natural instinct dogs have to sniff out and forage for their food, thus extending mealtimes and lowering the risk of bloating!
Anyone who has been around a young puppy knows that they LOVE to chew (often on things they shouldn’t be chewing). To get them through the teething phase, we recommend USA Junior Bully Sticks to satisfy a puppy’s natural desire to chew. Bully Sticks are single ingredient, all protein, and a great way to keep young dogs entertained and out of trouble!
Gifts for Senior Dogs:
We want our seniors to live their best healthy lives while feeling extra pampered! Our new line of Air-Dried Treats offers the perfect gifts for aging pups because they are not only delicious, but also nutritious. Available in three varieties with each flavor presenting its own unique benefits:
