In this video I’m doing a little dachshund-approved taste test of healthy dog treats with my two doxies: Stella (2.5 and very picky) and Stanley (5 months and will literally eat anything). I compare three beef-liver-based treats—Healthybud Beef Liver & Heart (with extra functional ingredients), Crumps Naturals Beef Liver, and PureBites Beef Liver—then we get into the real-life question: are they actually healthy, and will your dog even want to eat them? I’m not a dog nutritionist (zero qualifications, just years of being a dog owner and doing a ton of research), so I keep it simple: I look for natural ingredients, minimal processing, and I love single-ingredient, meat-based treats like 100% beef liver. The Healthybud option is different because it adds human-grade ingredients like sweet potato, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, turmeric, and green-lipped mussel to support hips and joints—something I care about even more with dachshunds being prone to back/spine issues. After letting both dogs try all three, I set up a plate test to see which one they choose first. Both Stella and Stanley went straight for Healthybud first, which honestly surprised me (especially with Stella). My takeaway: pick natural, meat-based treats, avoid highly processed/grain-based ones like Milk-Bones, and use treats as training rewards—or even as a meal topper for picky eaters like Stella.
