We all need a good snack now and then, whether it's because we have been working hard toward a goal or because we're just really damn hungry. Your pet is no exception. This list is filled with treats that are good for their teeth, their training progress, and so much more.

Best for Basic Training

Purina ONE True Instinct Bites With Venison Dog Treats

True Instinct Bites With Venison Dog Treats

Under 2.5 calories per treat, these are the perfect size for training your pup. There are 200 treats per bag, which means these should last much longer than a two-hour-long training session. PurinaOne’s main ingredient is venison and is produced in the USA, which means if there are recalls on any ingredients, you will be notified ASAP.

Best for Intensive Training

Stewart Pro-Treat Stewart Pro-Treat Beef Liver Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Treats

These come in a huge tub size which, as previously mentioned, is ideal for training (those tiny bags barely last a full one-hour session). These, however, are considered a high-reward treat for most dogs, which is perfect when you’re working on harder tricks.

Healthiest Treats

Shiny Paw Pork & Chicken Jerky Sticks For Dogs

Pork & Chicken Jerky Sticks For Dogs

These treats are not only delicious (say our Digital Director's dogs), but they're also free of fillers, grains, preservatives, additives, gluten, and GMOs. You're promised pork and chicken and that's exactly what you get. 

Best for Teeth

WholeHearted Smart Smiles Original Flavor Dog Dental Treats

Per another Delish editor: "My dog loves them and they actually help her breath! The texture of them help scrub the teeth as she’s eating them and they are chewy which helps her not scarf them down."

Best Peanut Butter Treat

Bark Bistro Company Buddy Budder Peanut Butter Lickable Dog Treats

Buddy Budder Peanut Butter Lickable Dog Treats

Yes, peanut butter for dogs exists. Made with just unsalted peanuts and honey, each jar is free of common ingredients found in the everyday stuff, like hydrogenated and palm oils, high fructose corn syrup, stabilizers, and xylitol. Load it up in a Kong or use it to bake your pup a birthday cake.

Best Freeze-Dried Treats

Stella & Chewy's Cage-Free Duck Wild Weenies

Cage-Free Duck Wild Weenies

Our Food Director's pup goes "absolutely nuts" for these, and Lauren feels great about giving them to her: "They’re grain-free, gluten-free, and potato-free (not that we care really but people do), and they snap in half easily to make them stretch for a bit longer."
