Best Treat Recommendations

[KaminiJ]

Hello!

We use two sniff mats per day per Dr. Jeff's recommendation for our 14 month old pug, Chia, recovering from crystals in her liver and her UTI. She is doing really well in her BEAM with her sniffle mats and two walks.

I am looking for specific raw-freeze dried treats (Dr. Jeff had recommended chicken hearts) to keep using for Chia's sniffle mats and for everyday use treats as well. Other things we have used are: freeze-dried sweet potato, freeze-dried blueberries, freeze-dried, beef liver, and freeze-dried chicken, as well as berries. What recommendations would you share with us and Chia?

Thanks in advance! @Dr. Jeff

Hi Kamini,

I use the following for my girl's snuffle sessions:

Souly's Raw's air-dried hearts of various kinds Air-Dried Treats — Soul'y Raw Specialty Pet Food

enjoy, Chia!

I use Ziwi Peak air dried food for the snuffle mat. It isn specifically a treat but a complete food that I use as treats.

Also, depending on Chia's food motivation, sunflower seeds are great for the mat (Archie loves his but is also highly food motivated)
