But it's important to make sure you're giving your four-legged friend something that's both delicious and nutritious, especially when they're young. These treats for puppies are made with high-quality ingredients that aid growth and development, and some of them help with teething, too.

Editor's Notes

January 16, 2019:

The type of treats that are best for your puppy depends on how you plan to use them. If you just want to give them a special snack every now and then, larger treats like Pet Cuisine Twisters and Old Mother Hubbard Crunchy Classic will do the trick. For teething, you want something longer-lasting, like N-Bone Teething Rings or Get Naked Dental Sticks. But if you plan on using them as a reward for training, it's best to stick with smaller treats to keep within reasonable calorie limits, like the Natural Balance Mini, Fruitables Skinny Minis, and Wellness Natural Grain Free.

She spent two years as a writer and editor for a large DIY/tutorial startup, where she wrote extensively about technology, security, lifestyle, and home improvement.

She is an avid home cook who has whiled away thousands of hours cooking and obsessively researching all things related to food and food science. Her time in the kitchen has also had the curious side effect of making her an expert at fending off attempted food thievery by her lazy boxer dog.
