What Makes Frontier Pets Dog Treats Truly Unique?

Don’t go barking up the wrong treat!

In this article, we explain how dog treats go beyond just having happy dogs. There are many different types of dog treats available, but in this article, you will learn that not all treats are created equally. It’s important to choose treats for our pets that are made with quality natural ingredients that delight them, as well as providing a healthy snack between meals.

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.

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.

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.

In the journey of pet parenthood, every meal and treat is more than just food—it’s a way to nurture, reward, and connect with your beloved companion. Choosing the right treats plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall health and happiness, making it essential to opt for natural, nutrient-rich options.
