Our furry friends deserve the best. They come in many shapes and sizes depending on what they eat. This makes shopping for our dogs difficult, and not just because there are so many options to ponder and choose from. Getting creative while shopping for healthy treats, chews, and more will always make your dog feel special, so you may want to consider some delicious gourmet dog treats.

No matter what we buy, our intentions are the same: we want what’s best for our dogs. With food trends in our world, a huge variety of delicious options are available, including bone broth snacks, snacks inspired by the Mediterranean diet, and even some snacks caught up in the CBD craze.

With so many gourmet treats to choose from online, you’ll want to spoil and treat your dog. Not only will they love you even more than they already do, but you get to control all the delicious, natural ingredients that fit into their diet. After all, their happiness is your happiness.

Seriously, I’m jealous right now. Dogs eating bacon snickerdoodles? I don’t think these cookies exist yet for humans, so I’ll definitely grab a handful and run. It’s hard to imagine a flavor combination including honey, cinnamon, and bacon that your dog would love more than these treats.

The CBD craze isn’t just for the two-legged among us. Owners of anxious animals often praise hemp extract (which won’t excite you or your dog) for soothing and calming hyper dogs. Try organic CBD dog treats with hemp and valerian to calm your restless spirit.

I promise to do my best not to sneak a few Baxter’s dog treats made with natural ingredients, but when I hear bacon and cheese in the same sentence, it generally means I’ll eat anything. These are some of the best reviewed dog treats on Amazon, and since dogs really can’t use computers, I guess I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Bacon never goes out of style. Ask your dog to take a piece off the kitchen counter when he jumps higher than he thought he would. Now the pups can have their own “human grade” bacon, so everyone is happy.
