Last year’s pet food contamination scare has many people wary of what’s in their best friends’ food. The good news is that there are safe, less-processed alternatives out there for both daily feed and in-between snacks. Here are a few dog treats that are not only tasty, but healthy too. Our panel of canine judges (see Image Gallery) rated each on a scale of one (yummy) to five (delicious!) paws.
