5 Interesting and Healthy Natural Treats for Your Dog To Try This Summer

5 Interesting and Healthy Natural Treats for Your Dog To Try This Summer

Rodrigo Gonzales-Quint |

Because your dog’s snack game deserves as much variety as your summer playlist.

At Pet O’Clock, we know that dogs — just like humans — thrive on variety. And while your pup might never say “I’m bored of beef tendon again,” that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t benefit from a change-up now and then. This summer, we’re inviting you to shake things up with new flavors, textures, and chew experiences that are as healthy as they are exciting.

Why? Because feeding your dog a variety of all-natural, single-ingredient treats doesn’t just support a balanced diet — it also keeps their senses engaged, their tails wagging, and their minds stimulated. In other words, it's the delicious kind of enrichment.

So, whether you're training on the trail, lounging in the backyard, or rewarding good behavior at the beach, here are five healthy and intriguing treats to help your dog embark on a lifetime of flavorful discovery.

1. Cow Hooves Dog Chews

Hollow, hardy, and hilariously fun to watch them chew.

Cow hooves are nature’s version of a chew toy — only way better. These long-lasting treats are made from the keratin-rich outer shell of a cow’s hoof, offering a tough texture that satisfies power chewers and a naturally hollow shape that’s perfect for stuffing (think peanut butter, canned pumpkin, or even frozen yogurt).

Why they’re worth trying:

  • Helps clean teeth and reduce plaque through extended chewing

  • Supports mental enrichment with DIY stuffing possibilities

  • Low in fat, high in fun, and totally digestible

  • Durable enough to outlast most BBQs

2. Beef Shin Dog Bone

The “summer blockbuster” of dog bones — long, meaty, and full of surprises.

This dense, flavorful bone is cut from the shin of a beef leg, loaded with natural marrow and connective tissue to provide an ultra-satisfying chewing experience. It's ideal for dogs that like to settle in and savor their snacks, and it's rich in nutrients that support joint and bone health.

Why it makes the summer treat list:

  • High in calcium and phosphorous for skeletal support

  • Bone marrow provides a boost of healthy fats and micronutrients

  • Great for keeping your pup busy during fireworks or guests’ arrival

  • Cleaned and slow-roasted — no additives or artificial anything

3. Regular Beef Tendons

Satisfying, stretchy, and secretly great for their joints.

Beef tendons are the underrated MVP of the treat world. These chewy, slow-dried snacks offer a moderate chew challenge that dogs adore — especially since the texture softens as they gnaw. Plus, they're a natural source of collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin, which all contribute to long-term mobility and joint comfort.

Why you’ll both love them:

  • Single-ingredient simplicity = easy on the stomach

  • Supports joint health and cartilage repair

  • Great for medium chewers or as a medium-length chew for smaller dogs

  • Lean, high in protein, and naturally low in fat

4. Beef Femur Dog Bone – 6 Inches

Classic bone, bold flavor, and a whole lot of gnaw appeal.

Sourced from premium beef and trimmed for safety, this 6-inch femur bone offers the best of both worlds: real meaty flavor on the outside and rich marrow on the inside. It's a great option for dogs who want to feel like kings (or queens) of the backyard while getting a serious jaw workout.

What makes it a summer standout:

  • Promotes oral hygiene and jaw strength

  • Marrow supports immune health and natural energy

  • Long-lasting and mess-resistant (great for outdoor chew sessions)

  • Ideal for medium to large breeds

5. Beef Lung Chunks – 1lb Bag

Lightweight, snackable, and surprisingly nutritious.

Beef lung chunks are airy and crunchy, but don’t let their texture fool you — these treats are packed with protein, B vitamins, and iron, making them a go-to option for training, treat puzzles, or anytime rewards. Dogs love the puffed texture and rich aroma, while you’ll love that they’re guilt-free and low in fat.

Why they’re the ultimate summer snack:

  • Great for training, enrichment toys, or hiking breaks

  • High in protein with minimal calories

  • Easily breakable into smaller bits for portion control

  • Single-ingredient and naturally dehydrated

The Final Bark

Just like us, dogs thrive when their daily routines include new sights, sounds, and flavors. Adding variety to your pup’s diet isn’t just about nutrition — it’s about offering them a lifetime of discovery, delight, and enrichment. And with Pet O’Clock’s carefully sourced, single-ingredient treats, that journey is always safe, healthy, and absolutely delicious.

This summer, help your dog explore the world one chew at a time — from crunchy cow hooves to marrow-rich bones and protein-packed lung bites. After all, at Pet O’Clock, it’s always time for a tail-wagging treat.

Enjoy the adventure,
