Treats and Chews

Lowchen are a small breed and thus have tiny tummies! We love soft, high value treats for training. Some lowchen are fine using kibble as training treats, but often this becomes undesirable in more distracting locations such as classes, breweries, etc. For chews, we find that pig hooves, ears, trachea, knees, and collagen braids/rolls satisfy their need to chew, last a long time, and taste great!

Our Favorite Treats

Happy Howie's Meat Rolls
A favorite of trainers everywhere! These are very stinky/delicious to dogs, soft, do not crumble, and tend to stay medium-high value forever. We love these treats as we can cut them into very tiny squares to not fill their stomachs through a long training class or socialization outing. These are a LOT of bang for the buck but do require refrigeration. I pre-cut mine, separate into freezer bags and freeze the extra. Available on Amazon, most feed stores, otherwise online.

Rawbble
A super high value treat to almost every dog. The chicken tends to crumble, but the other flavors hold up well. This is our favorite freeze dried raw treat and for crumbling over food when dogs are being picky. Its expensive by weight, but lasts a longer time than expected. Bixbie's website sells a sample pack under "sample pack" for $20 with three flavors included. You can buy this in more stores as well.

Boiled Chicken
I boil chicken when on sale, put in freezer bags and freeze. This is a super high value, affordable option.

String Cheese
I cut string cheese into small squares and place in a ziploc. This is a medium value treat for my dogs. It only lasts for that day however.

Premade Treats
I don't use a ton of premade treats as they are extremely expensive. However lowchen tend to love Zukes, Tricky Trainers, and Bill Jac's Little Jacs
