When it comes to our dog's health, we trust our vets to guide us on everything from daily wellness to proactive care. But with so many options on the market, how do you know which treats get a professional's seal of approval? It’s not just about a vet's name on a package—it's about the purposeful ingredients and the scientific backing that makes a treat truly beneficial.
Here is what veterinary professionals look for in a dog treat and why a brand built on this expertise is becoming a go-to choice.
What Vets Look for in a Healthy Dog Treat
Veterinarians are trained to look beyond clever marketing and focus on what genuinely benefits a dog's health. They know that a treat can be a powerful tool for preventative care, but only if it meets specific criteria.
- Targeted Nutrition: Vets seek out functional treats with ingredients that address a specific health concern. This could be omega fatty acids for skin and coat, turmeric for inflammation and joint health, or fiber-rich ingredients like pumpkin for digestive support.
- No Unnecessary Fillers: A vet's recommendation is a vote of confidence in a brand that prioritizes quality. They know to avoid treats with cheap fillers, artificial flavors, and preservatives that offer no nutritional value and can lead to health issues.
- Preventative Care: The best treats are those that support daily wellness at every life stage. Vets often recommend treats that proactively help with common issues like obesity, poor digestion, or mobility problems, helping dogs stay healthy and thrive.
A Vet-Approved Choice: The TerraPawz Story
The story of TerraPawz began with a genuine need to support a beloved dog named Luna, who had been diagnosed with diabetes. Her mom, Danae, struggled to find treats that wouldn't compromise Luna's health. This search was guided by her sister-in-law, a 30-year vet tech, and a pet food scientist. Together, they set out to create recipes that truly nourished dogs—a foundation built on professional expertise.
That dedication to purposeful, plant-powered ingredients is why TerraPawz treats have earned the approval of veterinarians who believe in their mission.
Dr. Kelly Myers, DVM: A specialist in geriatric medicine, Dr. Myers endorses our treats because they offer the functional benefits that senior dogs need, supporting their joint health, digestion, and weight management.
Dr. Jacqueline Johnson, BVMS: A Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, Dr. Johnson applauds TerraPawz for creating treats that "deliver genuine health benefits." She recommends them to pet parents who want treats that actively contribute to their dog's long-term wellness.
