What hypoallergenic treats & chews can my dog have to maintain weight?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 86 lbs

I’m trying to figure out treats for my pup. He was just put on a hypoallergenic diet, and while we have the food angle covered, I’m trying to sort out treats and chews. He’s used to having Nylabone Nubz and Busy Bones, so I’m trying to find something similar to them. I’m also trying to make sure he doesn’t lose any weight as a result of his new diet. He’s 85 pounds, and a perfect body condition, so losing weight would be problematic. Do you have any suggestions??

Brody is very handsome! I would not give any treats if he is on a hypoallergenic diet. I do have a recipe from Hills you can use to make treats with the food he is on. That way you are not adding anything extra to his diet. https://www.hillspet.com/dog-care/nutrition-feeding/healthy-homemade-dog-treats Thank you for using PetCoach.
