What are the different types of dog treats?

As loving pet owners, we want what’s best for our dogs. This certainly holds true for the types of treats we choose for them. When choosing treats, it’s important to consider the best type for our pets and what they are going to be used for.  

There are many different treats available, and they can generally be categorised into two main types: Training and Reward.

Treats for Training 

These are smaller treats, or those that can be broken up into smaller pieces. In a training session, the pet is often given a lot of treats, so it’s important not to overfeed them. They could also be considered treats for a puppy since they could be fed to dogs who are still in their early gnawing phase or going through more intense training.

Treats for Rewards

Sometimes we just want to show our pets how much we love them by giving them a reward. These treats can be soft or hard, but they do need to be selected with the same care as choosing their food. Remember that treats are also food and need to be counted as calories. The rule of thumb for treats is to keep them to a minimum and use them sparingly as rewards. 

Here at Frontier Pets, our wide variety of treats can be used for training and/or rewarding. By choosing Frontier Pets treats for dogs, you can be confident that your pets are getting a healthy treat that you can feel good about feeding them.


How often should I feed treats?

All the treats dog owners give are a testament to the love we have for our pets. But we need to remember that treats are food, and their calorie content makes up part of a dog’s daily diet. Often, pet owners don’t realise that dog treats can contribute to overweight pets. You should moderate their daily limit so that treats only make up 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. 

A dog treat or two can help with a well-balanced diet, but it’s still important to take into account your dog’s age, level of activity, and overall size (small breed, medium breed, and large breed considerations). 

To work out how to incorporate dog treats without interfering with their diet, consider how much your pet is eating per day. If you prefer to feed a lot of treats, reduce the portion size of your dog’s food to compensate. Remember, though, that treats are not a complete diet, so try not to feed more than 10% of your dog’s diet in treats.  

For personal advice or any special concerns like sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic needs, it’s always best to consult with a veterinarian about Australian pet food intake and general food for pets. That includes treats, toppers, boosters, and their full diet.

Feed good, Do good.

Which ingredients should I avoid in dog treats?

When it comes to finding the right dog treat for your pet, you typically want to avoid any artificial preservatives or synthetic ingredients and go for something natural. To give you a better idea, it generally helps to steer clear of ingredients like

  • Unnecessary food fillers and additives. While filling, these may not provide enough nutritional value and may cause tooth decay
  • Artificial flavouring and colouring. These are some typical culprits for allergies. Check the treats’ packaging for any of these ingredients
  • MSG. This ingredient is generally considered toxic to dogs
  • Excessive sugar. Overconsumption could potentially cause dental issues and diabetic health concerns. This is a hidden and avoidable ingredient and is found in a lot of treats.

We at Frontier Pets understand the challenge of avoiding all these ingredients, and that’s why we pride ourselves on making natural dog treats readily available. 

Here, you can have peace of mind knowing that our dog treats and dog food choices only use raw, human-grade produce. We’re all about providing you with preservative-free, filler-free, antibiotic-free, GMO-free, and grain-free dog food to help keep your pet happy and healthy.

The Role of Treats in Your Dog’s Well-Being

Dog treats do more than just bring joy to our pets—they can support their overall well-being in various ways. The right treats can contribute to:

  • Dental Health – Certain treats help reduce plaque and tartar buildup, supporting healthy teeth and gums.
  • Joint Support – Natural treats like mussels and freeze-dried meats contain essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which can support joint health.
  • Mental Stimulation – Chewing on high-quality treats keeps dogs engaged and can help reduce stress or boredom, especially for dogs left home alone.
  • Training Reinforcement – High-value treats help reinforce positive behaviours and make training sessions more effective.

At Frontier Pets, our treats are designed to deliver these benefits while remaining free from artificial additives, preservatives, and unnecessary fillers.

Choosing the Right Treat for Your Dog’s Needs

Not all dogs have the same dietary requirements, so choosing the right treat can make all the difference:

  • For sensitive stomachs – Single-ingredient treats like freeze-dried chicken hearts or beef hearts are ideal for pets with food sensitivities.
  • For active dogs – High-protein, nutrient-dense treats provide energy for dogs with active lifestyles.
  • For weight management – Lower-calorie options, such as our lean protein-based treats, help maintain a healthy weight while still being rewarding.

If you’re unsure which treat is best for your dog’s specific needs, consult your vet for personalised recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of dog treats?

As loving pet owners, we want what’s best for our dogs. This certainly holds true for the types of treats we choose for them. When choosing treats, it’s important to consider the best type for our pets and what they are going to be used for.  

There are many different treats available, and they can generally be categorised into two main types: Training and Reward.

Treats for Training 

These are smaller treats, or those that can be broken up into smaller pieces. In a training session, the pet is often given a lot of treats, so it’s important not to overfeed them. They could also be considered treats for a puppy since they could be fed to dogs who are still in their early gnawing phase or going through more intense training.

Sometimes we just want to show our pets how much we love them by giving them a reward. These treats can be soft or hard, but they do need to be selected with the same care as choosing their food.

Are freeze-dried treats better than baked or dehydrated treats?

Freeze-dried treats offer some key benefits over baked or dehydrated options. Because freeze-drying removes moisture without using heat, the nutrients remain intact—so your dog gets all the goodness of raw, whole ingredients. Baked and dehydrated treats, on the other hand, are exposed to high temperatures, which can break down essential nutrients. Plus, freeze-dried treats have a longer shelf life without needing preservatives. So, if you’re looking for a nutrient-dense, all-natural treat, freeze-dried is the way to go!

Can I give Frontier Pets treats to my puppy?

Absolutely! Our treats are made with 100% natural, free-range ingredients, making them a great option for puppies. However, since puppies have smaller stomachs and different nutritional needs than adult dogs, it's best to give treats in moderation. If you're using treats for training, opt for smaller, bite-sized pieces to avoid overfeeding. And as always, make sure your pup gets a well-balanced diet alongside their treats.
