Paw Pals, a Northern Virginia pet sitting service, recently released a blog that lists the best dog treats to give your dog. These treats will help your dog feel properly nourished for more energy.

Dog treats are designed to make your dog feel special by allowing them a yummy rewarding treat. It will help your dog enjoy the walk more and feel like he/she is a great companion to you as the owner. Depending on the duration of the walk, you will want to have lots of water and snacks on hand, especially if it will be a long walk. Dog treats are also designed to keep your dog's attention on the walk instead of chasing after small animals or other dogs that you may cross while walking. Overall, they reinforce better behavior for your dog.

All dog treats are made with different vitamins and nutrients for your dog. Some may have additives or other harmful chemicals that you will want to look out for as a dog owner. Luckily, there is a list of dog treats that are additive free with great health benefits. Lively Pets Max Strength Hip and Joint Chews and Active Chews Premium Hip and Joint Dog Treats are perfect for dogs that may have joint pain and need to be relieved from this discomfort. Wellness Soft Puppy Bites and Cloud Star Tricky Trainers are essential for growing dogs that are in the training stages, because they contain all-natural ingredients. Best Bully Sticks are USDA and FDA approved free-range cattle treats containing no gluten or fat, if your dog may need to lose a few pounds! Hill's Science Diet Soft Training Treats are also great for dieting because they are low in calories. Wellness Natural Wellbites are good if you want your dog to stay away from soy and artificial coloring.
