Herbal Digestive Aid, Energy Booster, and Multivitamin for Dogs
Are you looking for the best natural dog treats but aren’t sure where to start looking? A special snack can be a great way to show your love to your pet. A dog biscuit can also become a powerful tool for positive reinforcement and training. There are options out there that even claim to help with oral hygiene, and so much more. With so many treats to choose from, what should you consider before picking the right one for your pup?
Look for Nutritious Ingredients
The health of our furriends should always be the top priority. We know some ingredients can be delicious for humans and yet highly toxic to pets. So, when choosing your pup’s treat, look for something that is not only tasty to them but nutritious!
Start by reading the label, and check if the pet food contains ingredients that offer additional health benefits to your little one. Let’s take pumpkin as an example, it has a number of benefits for our furriends. Not only is it packed with nutrients, but it also is great for furkiddos’ intestinal health.
Excess Can Affect Your Pet’s Health
You should avoid treats high in sugar and fat, as these can lead to obesity, heart disease, and other health problems. Instead, opt for the ones made with quality and all-natural ingredients such as oats. It is also preferable to choose treats free of artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors.
Also, keep in mind the biscuit’s calories when choosing the right match for your pup. Prefer low-calorie dog treats, or break them into smaller pieces to offer throughout the day. Overindulging your pup with constant snacks throughout the day can cause weight gain, increasing the risk of arthritis and diabetes, among other health concerns.
The Best Natural Dog Treats Must Be Tasty
The best natural dog treats for your little one will also depend on their personal preferences. No matter how nutritious the treat is, it won’t make a difference if your pet refuses to eat them, right? So, besides the nutritional value of the dog biscuit, choosing ingredients that match your pup’s taste buds is also important.
Some pups love meaty flavors, while others prefer sweet or savory. Most dogs don’t like salty, spicy, sour, or bitter tastes. You can determine your little one’s preference by observing what they enjoy eating most, or you can try different treats until you find the one they love!
Avoid Allergens or Ingredients Your Pup Won’t Eat
We never want our precious pup to suffer from itchy, inflamed skin, vomit, or have any other discomfort due to allergies. So if yours happens to have an allergic reaction to a specific food, remember to avoid treats that contain those triggering ingredients. Read the full list of ingredients on the label on the back to double-check that there aren’t any traces of the allergen.
NHV Stimmune can help address the symptoms related to food allergies in furkiddos. This herbal blend helps promote healthy histamane response and balanced immunity.
If you’re not sure what your little one is allergic to, conducting a food trial can help you pinpoint the culprit. In the meantime, a hypoallergenic diet can be helpful. Chicken and beef are actually common allergens for dogs. So if you’re unsure what your little one is allergic to, we would opt for treats that don’t contain these protein sources.
Homemade Recipe for Best Natural Dog Treats
Our secret to the best natural dog treats is to make them yourself! Cooking at home is the easiest way to ensure you have control over the ingredients considering nutritional value, calorie intake, your pet’s personal taste, and allergic reactions. Plus, nothing shows more love to your pup than a treat made from scratch!
Here is a quick and easy recipe you can use as your base for the best natural dog treats:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup apple/pear puree
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger (may benefit furkids’ gastrointestinal systems)
- 1 teaspoon eggshell powder
- Your favorite NHV supplement (NHV Multi Essentials is a great option for its high nutritional value)
Pour all the love you have for your sweet pup as an extra ingredient.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, eggshell powder, ginger, apple/pear puree, chicken broth, and egg.
- Mix the ingredients until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits. You can use bone-shaped cutters or any other shape you prefer.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Apply a small amount of NHV supplement using a dropper.
- Let the biscuits cool completely before giving them to your furry friend.
There you have it! We would love to see your batch of biscuits! Making homemade treats for your furry friend is a great way to ensure their health and happiness. Just remember to consider their nutritional needs, personal taste, and any allergies they may have before whipping up a batch. Your pup will thank you for it! If you have any questions about nutrition or anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out! We are always happy to help.

Symptoms of Allergies in Dogs
- Hot Spots
- Sneezing
- Difficulty breathing
- Face scratching or rubbing
- Ear infection
- Watery eyes
Causes of Allergies in Dogs
- Allergenic Food - chicken and beef can often be culprits
- Fleas & Insect Bites
- Environmental factors such as dust mites, pollen and other irritants
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a normally harmless substance called an antigen. Allergies in dogs often occur when allergens are inhaled, ingested, or absorbed by the body. When this occurs, the immune system becomes over-reactive to substances it believes are harmful. This reaction causes a release of histamine, causing the common allergy symptoms in your pet.
The cause of allergies in dogs can be difficult to determine. While it is always best to eliminate the cause altogether, like omitting a specific food from their diet, some causes can be nearly impossible to totally eradicate, like dust mites or pollen. This is where a dog allergy supplement that is taken daily can help relieve your loved one of common allergens, even when you're not exactly sure what they are allergic to.

- Useful for IBD in dogs, food allergies, gastrointestinal ulcers, and bacterial infection of the gut
- Safe for long term use and as a proactive approach to a healthy gut
Like humans, Inflammatory or Irritable Bowel Disease, also known as IBD, is a common gastrointestinal problem in dogs. When your furbaby has IBD, inflammatory cells within their body begin to invade the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are all part of the GI tract. Once inflammatory cells start to take over the GI tract, a thickening of the intestinal wall can occur, upsetting daily functions like absorption and the movement of food (peristalsis). There is no clear cause for IBD in dogs, but studies show that genetic and external factors can predispose your pet to have IBD. Some additional contributing factors may be chronic irritation of the intestines caused by constant vomiting and diarrhea, food allergies, parasites, and autoimmune disorders.
How TumFlora Supports GI Tract Health
TumFlora is a natural herbal vet formulation designed to help improve intestinal flora. In addition to helping improve intestinal flora, and helping with inflammation of the digestive tract, TumFlora contains herbs that are highly nutritious like slippery elm to further help your furbaby heal. Slippery elm is high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B complex, C, K, calcium, magnesium and sodium. The gentle defense against microorganisms and anti-fungal properties of herbs like oregon grape aid the body to fight off infections. Finally, herbs like fennel and chamomile help to relieve stomach cramps and indigestion and help with overall discomfort.
This soothing liquid formulation is easy to administer and helps maintain a healthy gut. In addition to helping IBD in dogs, TumFlora is also useful for pets suffering from food allergies, gastrointestinal ulcers and bacterial, gut infections. TumFlora is also a great addition to your pet’s daily regimen as a proactive approach for a healthy gut.
Symptoms of IBD in dogs
Dogs will occasionally vomit or have diarrhea because something doesn’t sit right with their tummies, or maybe they ate too much or too little that day. But if your furkiddo begins to vomit and their poops are runny on a regular basis then it could be IBD. Keep your eye out for these additional symptoms:
- Weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Straining to defecate
- Lethargy
Typically your vet will do a full-body exam, check your dog’s history, conduct a blood panel, take a stool sample, and possibly opt for x-rays and/or an ultrasound. IBD in dogs can be tough to diagnose because your vet will have to check for a variety of conditions as well as vital organ functions before they can confirm diagnosis. Other health conditions that have similar symptoms to IBD are GI parasites, kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer, or foreign substances and objects in the intestines. To confirm IBD, your vet may eventually conduct a biopsy on your pup's stomach and/or intestinal tract.
Additional Holistic Support for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Dogs
A combination of vet-prescribed medication and nutritional therapy is often recommended to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. If your pet is prone to inflammatory bowel disease in dogs, changing your dog’s diet to a more gut-friendly one is recommended.
