Healthy Dog Treats Guide

In this Geoffisode, Dr Geoff explains Vet HQ’s KISS philosophy – Keep It Simple and Safe. When it comes to dog treats, the safest options are natural, Australian-made products.

At Vet HQ Darlinghurst and Double Bay, we recommend treats such as carrots, celery, chicken necks, and Australian-sourced chews. Many imported treats contain preservatives or harmful ingredients that can make pets sick. Choosing locally made, simple options helps keep pets healthy while avoiding unnecessary risks.

“Keep it simple, keep it safe. That’s our philosophy at Vet HQ for every treat you give.” — Dr Geoff, Vet HQ Double Bay
