Who’s a good dog? Your dog! And, to keep them healthy and happy, treats are essential to your pet parent’s supply kit, particularly as training tools. As with any food, you’ll want to stick with high-quality options. The best organic dog treats can fit that bill.

Organic is a specific moniker that signifies the food has a minimum of 95% organic ingredients. It can be a little bit harder to find a variety of meat proteins that can get the “organic” label. When they do, it’s usually chicken or beef, while other proteins are more likely to be labeled “free-range” or “wild-caught.”

The majority of the dog treats we’ve chosen for this list are certified USDA organic, but we’ve also included a few that include many certified organic ingredients and have additional features that we feel make them great all-around treats for your dog.

Best Crunchy: Darford Organic Premium Dog Treats

Made in Canada, these Darford dog treats feature 100% USDA-certified organic ingredients. Barley, peanut butter, and chicken lead the list for these oven-baked treats, enhancing the flavor appeal. Supporting ingredients include rolled oats for rich fiber, sunflower oil for essentially fatty acids, and turmeric for added flavor and anti-inflammatory properties.

While crunchy treats make good daily rewards, the peanut butter and chicken combo bumps these O-rings a little higher in value (and calories) than other biscuits.

Key Nutrients:

• 14.4 kcal/piece
• Protein: 11.7%
• Fat: 8.9%
• Fiber: 6.7%

Ingredients: Organic Barley, Organic Peanut Butter, Organic Chicken, Organic Apples, Organic Carrots, Organic Molasses, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Tumeric, Mixed Tocopherols, Organic Rosemary Extract, Organic Sunflower Lecithin

Best Peanut Butter: Project Hive Peanut Butter Spreadable Dog Treat

Peanut butter pouches and other lickable packets are excellent high-value options. Take them out on training sessions, spread them on a lick mat, or stuff them into a puzzle toy for a longer-lasting enrichment treat.

While this peanut butter isn’t all organic, it’s as close as we could find, featuring organic honey and organic palm oil. Plus, the company’s mission is to increase bee habitat, so every purchase helps fund wildflower planting.

Like most nut butters for dogs, it’s high in fat and calories, so you’ll want to use it in small amounts as a special treat.

Key Nutrients:

• 88 kcal/Tbsp
• Protein: 40.9%
• Fat: 88.6%
• Fiber: 20.2%

Ingredients: Peanuts, organic honey, organic palm oil

Best Grain-Free: Wet Noses Grain-Free

If your dog is on a grain-free diet, these dog treats feature all-organic ingredients free of grains, including corn, wheat, and soy. Verified GMO-free by the Non-GMO Project, they also don’t contain dairy, artificial preservatives, or any animal products. Free of meat, they’re a choice pick if you want to mix in some tasty vegan options into your treat rotation or if you’re trying out an elimination diet to figure out if your pup has an animal protein allergy.

Organic pea flour and peanut butter provide protein, healthy fats, and flavor, while the carrot and sweet potato puree add more taste and fiber.

Key Nutrients:

• 17 kcal/piece
• Protein: 16.5%

Ingredients: Organic Pea Flour, Organic Canola Oil, Organic Molasses, Organic Carrot Puree, Organic Sweet Potato Puree, Organic Peanut Butter

Best for Digestion: 4Legz Organic Pumpkin Dog Treats

These crunchy dog treats come in two stomach-settling flavors: sweet potato or pumpkin. A small Pacific Northwest company, 4Legz, was developed specifically around the dietary needs of dogs with sensitive digestion after the founder’s service dog couldn’t tolerate standard store treats. The short ingredient list leads with either pumpkin or sweet potato puree and not much else, keeping them low in protein, fat, and fiber—making for a highly digestible treat.

Key Nutrients:

• 16 kcal/piece
• Protein: 5.6%
• Fat: 10%

Key Nutrients:

Best Single-Protein: Riley’s Organics Jerky Jibbs Turkey Recipe

Single-ingredient protein treats are good to have around for several reasons. First, many dogs find them more exciting than treats with more carbohydrates, which can come in clutch when you need an extra motivational boost. Secondly, they’re an excellent choice if your dog has a known protein allergy. Many are also the only ingredient on the list or are accompanied by a short list of other ingredients, making them an ideal treat for dogs with identified allergies or sensitive stomachs.

These handy treats offer the slight chewiness of turkey jerky in bite-sized pieces, so you can limit the amount your dog gets. The ingredients list is short and sweet, with wholesome organic barley flour, oat flour, and sweet potato in the mix.

Key Nutrients:

• 3.5 kcal/treat
• Protein: 26.3%
• Fat: 18.4%
• Fiber: 3.9%

The organic flaxseed adds omega-3 and omega-6, helping to soothe achy joints and arthritis.
