When it comes to keeping your dog happy, healthy, and occupied, few things beat a good chew treat. But with so many options out there, how do you know which ones are actually worth the wag? Whether you’re training a puppy, managing your dog’s dental health, or just looking to treat them with something special, the right chew makes all the difference.
At BARK’N’CHEW, we’ve tested hundreds of chews with real pups — and here are the top five that dogs keep coming back for (with tails wagging).
🥇 1. Natural Yak Milk Chews
Why Dogs Love Them:
Long-lasting, odorless, and packed with flavor, yak milk chews are made from natural ingredients like milk, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. They’re crunchy at first and soften as dogs chew.
Why You’ll Love Them:
They’re grain-free, high in protein, and excellent for dental health. Plus, they don’t splinter like bones or rawhide.
🥈 2. Chicken Jerky Strips
Why Dogs Love Them:
Tender, chewy, and full of rich meaty flavor — chicken jerky is like a gourmet snack for dogs. Perfect for picky eaters!
Why You’ll Love Them:
Low-fat and high-protein, chicken jerky is great for weight management and training rewards.
🥉 3. Vegetable-Based Dental Chews
Why Dogs Love Them:
These fun-shaped, veggie-based chews come in a variety of flavors and textures that keep dogs busy and satisfied.
Why You’ll Love Them:
They help clean teeth and freshen breath — without the calories or allergens found in traditional meat treats.
🐾 4. Collagen Sticks
Why Dogs Love Them:
Chewy yet digestible, collagen sticks offer a satisfying texture that keeps dogs gnawing happily.
Why You’ll Love Them:
They support joint, skin, and coat health while being a safer alternative to rawhide.
🎾 5. Rawhide-Free Chews with Real Meat Coating
Why Dogs Love Them:
They deliver that irresistible meaty taste wrapped around a hearty, chewable core — it’s the dog version of a stuffed crust pizza.
Why You’ll Love Them:
Completely rawhide-free, these chews are easier to digest and safer for long chewing sessions.
✅ Tips for Choosing the Right Chew for Your Dog
- Match size & chewing strength: Always choose a chew that suits your dog’s jaw power and size.
- Check ingredients: Look for natural, limited-ingredient chews without artificial fillers or preservatives.
- Supervise chewing time: Especially with new treats, always monitor your dog to prevent choking or swallowing large pieces.
