Here at Hollings, we are no strangers to taking our dogs everywhere we go, including on holiday! So, we know how important it is to ensure when you go away that your dog can enjoy their treats just as they would at home.
Embarking on a car journey with your dog, however long or short can be potentially challenging if you are not adequately prepared, so one thing we believe you should never forget to pack are your dogs favourite treats. Our high-quality treats can ensure you have a stress free, enjoyable experience every time you set off from home.
Packing healthy treats for road trips
All our treats are a healthy option for your dog and can also provide nutritional benefits for them too. Hollings Chicken Hearts are high in protein (60%) and are perfectly sized treats for a healthy reward on the go. Chicken is a great source of lean protein, high in fatty acids, essential vitamins, and taurine to maintain heart health. Our resealable packing also ensure that your treats are as kept safe and fresh for long periods of time.
Making the most of treats during a car journey
Treats are an excellent way to reinforce positive behaviours, such as staying in a designated area or sitting quietly. If your dog is also likely to become anxious or jittery during journeys, treats can be an excellent distraction during stressful situations.
Offering them a treat can divert attention and aid in calming them down, especially if they are as tasty as the Hollings Beef Curls. Long lasting enough to distract from any stressful situation they are perfect for a longer enrichment period. Made from 100% beef trachea, they are also an interesting shape for dogs to explore with the added benefit of being a natural source of Glucosamine & Chondroitin known for supporting joint health and mobility.
Finding treats while on holiday
With a wide range of options available to you and your dogs, selecting the right treats, especially when abroad, can be overwhelming.
Ideally, treats should be rich in vitamins and minerals, 100% natural, prepared to preserve goodness and flavour and tasty enough for even the fussiest canines. Luckily, at Hollings, every treat we offer lives up to this.
It’s worth noting that thing you should avoid are, toxic ingredients like grapes, raisins, onion, chocolate and nuts. You should make sure you watch out for high levels of salt and fat. Avoid feeding scraps of your food or leftovers, as any hidden ingredients can be dangerous and avoid rawhide - it often contains harsh chemicals and can be too tough to digest.
Choosing to take Hollings treats with you on holiday not only ensures your beloved pet is getting an enjoyable tasty snack but you can be safe in the knowledge that the happiness you see on the outside is being reflected on the inside.
If you have forgotten treats for your holiday, you can buy direct through the website with next day delivery if ordered before noon that day. As well as this we offer free UK mainland delivery on offers over £30.
