Did you know you can use your dog’s favorite bully sticks and chews in fun, dog-friendly recipes? Whether your dog is a heavy, medium, or light chewer, these five natural dog chew recipes are a great treat for your pet.
Natural dog chews are a great way to keep your dog active and engaged. Payton Pritzl, Instagram dog blogger @shams_little_leprechauns, uses Best Bully Sticks chews for a variety of enrichment activities for her dogs Irish and O’Malley.
“For me, mental health in canines and proper enrichment is one of the most important things you should be focusing on with your dogs,” says Payton. “Especially with the dogs that I’m training, they need some form of release during the day and enrichment is an awesome opportunity for that.”
Combine natural, digestible dog chews with ingredients you have at home for fun, affordable treats for all different kinds of chewers. Check out Payton’s recipes below:
