From Puppy to Senior: Grain-Free Fish Treats for All Life Stages

Got a picky pup or an aging dog with a sensitive tummy?
Feeding your dog shouldn’t feel like a science experiment. You want to keep it simple, clean, and good for their health. But with so many options (and sneaky ingredients) out there, finding the right treat can be a real headache. Whether your dog is full of puppy zoomies or enjoying their golden years, we’ve got a snack that fits every stage of life.

Welcome to Salty Dog Treats — where simple, healthy snacking is just the way we do things.

Why Go Grain-Free in the First Place?

Some dogs just don’t do well with grains. They might get itchy skin, upset bellies, or just refuse to eat. That’s why many pet parents now look for grain-free dog treats. It helps:

• Reduce the risk of food sensitivities
  
  

• Support digestion
  
  

• Keep energy levels steady
  
  

And when you cut out the grains, you make room for better stuff—like protein-rich fish.

Why Fish? Because It’s a Super Snack

Fish isn’t just tasty—it’s packed with the good stuff. We’re talking high protein and omega-3 fatty acids that support:

• Healthy skin and coat
  
  

• Joint strength
  
  

• Brain function
  
  

• Heart health
  
  

According to the American Kennel Club, fish is a safe, nutritious option for dogs when cooked or freeze-dried properly.

That’s why we keep things pure and simple at Salty Dog Treats. No fillers. No preservatives. No weird stuff.

Just 100% freeze-dried fish.

Meet the Stars: Bonito and Mackerel

We keep it real with just two treat options:

• Bonito Treats – Light, flakey, and full of flavor. Bonito is great for small bites and training sessions.
  
  

• Mackerel Treats – A meatier option with a stronger flavor that large breed dogs go crazy for.
  
  

We freeze-dry both to keep them packed with nutrients and crunchiness. And both contain just one ingredient.

Perfect for Puppies

Puppies are growing fast and need lots of nutrients. But their tummies can be sensitive. That’s why fish-based, grain-free treats work so well.

• Easy to digest
  
  

• Supports brain development
  
  

• Helps build lean muscle
  
  

Our treats are soft enough to break into small pieces for little mouths. That makes them some of the best grain-free dog treats for training and rewards.

Just Right for Adult Dogs

Adult dogs have different needs than puppies, but they still need a snack that’s tasty and healthy.

Our treats support:

• Muscle recovery after walks or play
  
  

• Healthy coats and joints
  
  

• Dental health (thanks to the natural crunch)
  
  

Whether you have a Chihuahua or a Labrador, our treats fit every breed. If you're shopping for dog treats for small breed dogs, break the filet into smaller bits. For dog treats for large breed dogs, serve whole pieces—they’ll love the chew.

Gentle on Seniors

Senior dogs may slow down, but they still deserve something special.

Fish treats are gentle on teeth, rich in joint-supporting nutrients, and easy to chew. For dogs who aren't easily impressed by treats, mackerel adds that extra zing.

According to Vetstreet, omega-3s in fish help with cognitive decline and mobility—two big concerns for older dogs.

All Breeds. All Ages. One Ingredient.

Let’s be real—most commercial treats have a long list of stuff you can’t pronounce. Ours? Just fish.

Whether you’re looking for:

• Dog treats for large breed dogs
  
  

• Dog treats for small breed dogs
  
  

• Or just the best grain-free dog treats for training or rewards
  
  

You’ll find it all in one place: Salty Dog Treats.
