Our top 3 favorite dog treats (and why dogs love them)

Treats are more than snacks — they're training tools, enrichment, and a way to bond. Here are three favorites and what each is best for, plus safe-use guidelines to share with your sitter.

1. Alaskins Salmon Skins

Best for: high-value rewards and crunchy chewers. A single-ingredient dried wild salmon skin with a big crunch and intense fishy flavor that motivates most dogs. Great as a higher-value reward during focused training, or for celebrating a big win like a solid recall or staying calm somewhere new. Dogs who love to chew stay engaged with the texture.

2. Nature's Logic Beef Lung Treat Bites

Best for: training and rapid reinforcement. Light, aromatic beef-lung pieces you can break into small portions — ideal for frequent training. The strong scent grabs attention on leash walks and during behavior work, and easy portioning lets you reward several times without blowing past calorie limits. Trainers like organ-based treats because they feel high-value to dogs and reward behavior fast.

3. Greenies Dental Treats

Best for: daily routine, dental care, and calm reinforcement. Greenies help reduce plaque and tartar through chewing, with fresher breath as a bonus. They don't replace brushing or professional dental care, but many pet parents notice better oral health with regular use. Their bigger, satisfying size makes them a good end-of-session reward or a structured chew during rest.
