Introducing Charlee’s Top Treats

Hey fellow dog lovers! If you’re anything like me, finding the perfect treat for your furry friend can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. With so many options out there, it can be a task to choose the best. Well, today I’m excited to share with you Charlee’s top 5 favorite dog treats! Not only are these treats delicious, but they’re also packed with protein to keep our pups healthy and happy!

1. Minnows: A Tasty Delight!

First up on Charlee’s list are minnows! These tiny fish are not just crunchy and fun to chew; they’re also a protein powerhouse. Packed with essential nutrients, minnows make for an excellent treat that dogs love. Plus, they’re great for promoting healthy skin and coat! Watch your pup enjoy these little fishy bites! I use them every day to get Charlee to come inside (lol) and she knows if she is good outside that she can come in and "boop" the baggie by the door and get some! These are small so a few at 1 time for her is perfect!

2. Cod Sticks: A Fishy Treat That Delights

Next, we have cod sticks. Charlee loves the taste, and I love that they are an excellent source of protein! Cod is also rich in omega fatty acids that provide numerous health benefits. I give them ot Charlee every afternoon while i work, so she has something to keep her busy! You can purchase them from Amazon in a single or triple pack. Your dog will be begging for more!

3. Beef Spleen: A Unique Snack

If you’re looking for something a bit different, try beef spleen. I know, it may sound unusual, but trust me, dogs adore them! This treat is rich in protein and essential nutrients. Plus, beef spleen is great for a dog’s energy levels. Charlee can’t resist it during those long play sessions, and I feel good knowing she's munching on something nutritious. This is one of the items I alternate into her dinner during the week as well for some extra yumminess!

4. Chicken Tenders: A Classic Favorite

No list of treats would be complete without chicken tenders! This classic has been a favorite among dogs for years. Made from real chicken, these tenders are juicy and mouthwatering! The protein content helps maintain your dog’s muscles and overall health. Charlee lights up whenever I pull these out — they’re simply irresistible! Just make sure to find ones that have 2 ingredients, chicken and salt usually. That way your pup isn't eating not so great ingredients!

5. Pig Ears: The Ultimate Chew

Last but not least, let’s talk about pig ears. They’re one of Charlee’s all-time favorites! These chewy delights are not just great for keeping your dog occupied, but they also provide a good amount of protein. Chewing on pig ears not only satisfies her cravings but also helps improve dental health. It’s a win-win! Personally, just the dental benefits is worth it i think. I buy these from my local Winco in the bins, but you can find them anywhere. I have a friend who i know would freak if her dog ate a real pig ear so I found a great alternative, a pork skin ear. Its really just pork skin in the shape of an ear. Still full of protein, 1 ingredient and Charlee of course loves them!
