Whether you’re curled up with your dog on the couch watching reality TV, their tail happily slapping the couch cushion, or you just hiked to the top of a hill together in a park you’ve never visited before, treats celebrate and solidify your bond.

But finding treats that your dog loves that are also good for them is harder than it should be. Many commercially available treats are ultra-processed and made with feed-grade ingredients. On top of that, excessive treating can contribute to weight gain or nutritional imbalances.

Enter Crunchy Biscuits from The Farmer’s Dog. They’re all-natural and include only a simple, short list of ingredients you can see. They’re made to human-grade standards—meaning that they’re subject to the same stringent regulations as food for people. And when you add them to a fresh-food plan, they come with personalized portions that make it easy to keep your dog in shape while treating them.

Crunchy Biscuits are made with simple, healthy ingredients—and are never ultra-processed.

Crunchy Biscuits are free of cheap fillers and artificial sweeteners. They’re made with a short list of simple ingredients like beef, oats, banana, sweet potato, peanut butter, pumpkin, goat milk, and blueberries.

As a veterinarian, I’m thoughtful about the treats I give my own dogs. That’s what I appreciate about Crunchy Biscuits: They’re developed by Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionists®, made with simple ingredients, never ultra-processed, and produced to human-grade safety standards. They’re also portioned for each dog, so pet owners know exactly how much to feed while staying within their treat allowance. My dogs, Bronson and Turtle, love them, and I love that I didn’t have to think twice about giving them.”

Crunchy Biscuits are made to human-grade standards.

Most mainstream dog biscuits adhere only to feed-grade standards, but Crunchy Biscuits are made to human-grade standards. Put simply, human-grade dog treats are made to the same rigorous safety and quality standards, and according to the same regulations, that apply to human food—the same standard as the food on your own plate.

And, just like our complete and balanced food, Crunchy Biscuits are developed by our on-staff Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionists®. Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionists® are leading experts in dogs’ nutritional needs. There are only around 100 in the United States, and three of them—Dr. Renee Streeter, Dr. Joe Wakshlag, and Dr. Susan Wynn—work for The Farmer’s Dog.

Crunchy Biscuits can help you keep your dog at a healthy weight.

Research shows that dogs who maintain a healthy weight can live up to 2.5 years longer than those who are overweight. Many veterinarians cite a “10% rule” for weight maintenance and proper nutrition, advising that treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories. This guideline can help keep your dog in a healthy body condition and ensure that they receive the right nutrients, in the right quantities, from their daily diet.

At only nine calories per treat (and 4.5 calories per half-treat, with snap lines for easy portioning), Crunchy Biscuits are a guilt-free way to treat your best friend. And when your dog is on a meal plan from The Farmer’s Dog, we can calculate exactly how many treats they should have to help maintain a healthy weight and factor that into their daily feeding guidance. 

Crunchy Biscuits come in three delicious flavors that dogs love.

With Beef & Sweet Potato, Peanut Butter & Pumpkin, and Goat Milk & Blueberries varieties, there’s sure to be a Crunchy Biscuits flavor that’s perfect for your dog. Or you can mix and match to give them some variety.

Feeding The Farmer’s Dog food supports your dog’s health every day, and adding Crunchy Biscuits is a great way to complement their complete and balanced diet with wholesome treats. Want to add them to your next order? Just log in to your account.
