With two high-energy dogs, I need high-value dog treats on hand at all times. Whether I want something long-lasting or some reliable training treats, it helps to have something extra tasty to redirect any potentially naughty behaviors. So, take a look at my list of high-value treats that my dogs love. And while dog food can be expensive, my list starts at just $5.
Some treats even come with additional health benefits, including dental-healthy and low-cal options to keep their bodies and teeth healthy and in tip-top shape. Check out my faves below!
8 High-Value Dog Treats, Starting at $5
- Meat-Lovers: If your pup predominantly responds to meaty flavors, might I suggest Blue Buffalo Nudges Grillers? My older pup, Cricket, loves the real beef flavor—and since they’re made in the U.S. with 100% natural steak, you know they’re getting the good stuff — $20
- Long-Lasting: When I need a high-value snack to keep my pups occupied for a long period of time, EcoKind Yak Cheese Himalayan Dog Chews are a go-to. With just three ingredients and all-natural protein, they’re both healthy and highly entertaining — $27
- Two-in-One: My trainer always has Stewart 100% Beef Liver Dog Treats on-hand. And it’s clear why: My dogs are obsessed with them! And since they double as a nutritious meal-topper, you’re really getting two products in one — $34
- Low-Cal: Looking for a low-cal training treat? My dogs are ravenous for Zuke`s Mini Naturals Dog Treats. Since each treat contains less than two calories, they won’t out your fur baby over their recommended daily intake — $15
- Something Fishy: Incorporating fish into your dog’s diet provides them with essential Omega-3s and amino acids that contribute to healthy skin, fur and more. And Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Dog Treats come in a salmon flavor that’s a real catch— $12
- Tooth Fairy: Fido won’t even realize that Shameless Pets Blueberry & Mint Dental Chews are nearly equivalent to a teeth-brushing session. My dogs seem to think they’re simply long-lasting, blueberry-flavored snacks. And they’re not wrong — $8
- Affordable: Get the most for your money with Jinx Beef Dog Training Treats. Each package comes with four ounces of super tiny treats, which are great for long training sessions. And they’ll love that deliciously stinky beef and banana flavor — $5
- Chewy Dreams: Nothing wears out my dogs more than Earth Animal No Hide Chews. They chew them for what feels like hours, which is incredibly stimulating and always leaves them exhausted. With six rolls in a package, they’re also plant-based and rawhide-free — $56
