I knew I had a problem when my Labrador Max breathed on me and my houseplant started to emotionally withdraw.
That was my aha moment: it was time for detox dog treats… and fast.
If you live with a Labrador, you already know: these dogs don’t “breathe” — they exhale ancient secrets from deep within their souls. Max had reached Olympic level in dog breath, and being the slightly obsessed homemade-dog-treat parent that I am, I went straight into my kitchen laboratory.
What came out?
Not just snacks… but magical, green-flecked Carrot & Parsley Detox Chews for Dogs.
🥕 Why I Started Making Homemade Dog Treats for Detox
I love Max more than most humans. There, I said it.
And when he started getting a little sluggish after meals (plus the breath situation… we don’t speak of it lightly), I wanted something natural that could:
- Help his digestion
- Support a gentle detox
- Freshen his breath without chemicals
- Make him think he was getting gourmet-level snacks
These homemade dog treats for detox became our daily ritual. I bake, he sits dramatically in front of the oven like he paid rent.
And honestly?
His digestion improved.
His breath stopped knocking me unconscious.
And he started sitting like a very polite, slightly spoiled food critic.
