Hello world! My name is Mary, and my dog is my best friend. His name is Bandit, and he's a spunky little rescue. He hates to be left alone, and I'll admit that he once broke through a screen, walked several miles to where I was, and sat outside the cafe waiting for me. Since I work from home and don't go out often, I spend a lot of time with him. However, in most cases, owners would need to crate train their dogs in those situations. Anyway, wherever you are in your relationship with your dog, I hope you find what you need in this blog. It's going to be a mixture of fun tips, ideas, and facts. Enjoy!

Three Unique and Healthy Pet Treats You Should Try
Amber Knight
If you like giving your pet treats, then you should consider giving them healthy snacks. There are many pet treats that are loaded with low grade chicken meal or other fillers that don't do anything for your pet. You can think of them like candy; they taste good, but they are not really good for your pet. However, there are some really healthy treats you can get your cat or dog that taste great and are also good for them. Below is a list of three unique types of pet treats you should consider.
Coconut Oil Treats
Most people have heard about the health benefits of coconut oil, so it should be no surprise that this is one of the best types of treats to give your pet. Instead of a treat that is loaded with low quality chicken and grain, choose one that uses coconut oil as the main fat. The advantage of coconut oil is that it contains medium chain fatty acids which are readily absorbed into the pets bloodstream. This is great for energy. Also, coconut oil can help with a shiny coat and also help with brain function. So, if you have an older pet and you are concerned about their mental ability, a coconut-based treat is a fantastic idea.
If you are unable to find coconut-based treats, then you could also get a jar of extra virgin coconut oil and pour some of your dog or cats kibble. Many pets will love the extra fatty taste it gives the kibble.
Cranberry Treats
Cranberry treats are excellent for maintaining kidney healthy. This is especially helpful if your cat or dog has had a history of kidney problems. You can get them little treats that are made with cranberry powder. This will help prevent urinary infections. The treats won't have a heavy cranberry flavor. They will instead be flavored with a chicken or fish flavor.
Hemp-Based Treats
Hemp has lots of benefits. It has very healthy fiber, so it's great for keeping your pet regular and lowering their blood pressure. Also, there are hemp-based treats that contain properties unrelated to THC that can ease your pets chronic pain. The chemicals in hemp that can help with muscle pain or chronic pain from cancer are not psychotropic, so you don't have to worry about your pet behaving out of order. These phytocannabinoids are great for easing discomfort.
