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.<\/p><p>Enter Crunchy Biscuits from The Farmer&rsquo;s Dog. They&rsquo;re all-natural and include only a simple, short list of ingredients you can see. They&rsquo;re made to human-grade standards&mdash;meaning that they&rsquo;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.<\/p><p>Interested?
