Top 8 Biscuit and Crunch Dog Treats in Canada for 2025 — Vet-Reviewed Picks for Training, Dental Support, and Long Shelf Life

Zuke’s Crunchy Naturals earns a best-in-class note for owners who prefer handcrafted-style treats with simpler ingredient lists and distinct flavor profiles — although this SKU emphasizes peanut butter and apple rather than a pure meat flavor, its crunchy bake and ingredient transparency appeal to health-conscious buyers. Zuke’s competes with premium meat-flavored biscuits by offering cleaner-label appeal and targeted formulas for active dogs, but it typically sits between mass-market affordability and the higher price of specialty meat-based treats. Financially, Zuke’s smaller scale supports loyal niche customers and specialty retail placements rather than mass discounting.

Open Farm’s grain-free dehydrated treats claim a niche best-in-class position through strong ethical sourcing, complete ingredient transparency, and a dehydration process that preserves nutrients more than baked biscuits. Compared to crunchy biscuits on this list, these dehydrated pieces offer a denser protein bite and higher cost per treat, appealing to buyers who prioritize sustainability and ingredient provenance over low-unit price.

Blue Buffalo Health Bars Baked with Oats & Apples is the market leader thanks to nationwide availability, strong brand trust, and consistent formulation that blends whole-grain oats with fruit for palatability and fiber. Economies of scale let it offer competitive pricing and shelf-stability versus smaller artisan brands, making it the go-to mainstream whole-grain crunch biscuit for many households.

GO! SOLUTIONS Skin + Coat Care Salmon Recipe Dog Treats differentiate themselves by pairing a limited-ingredient approach with targeted functional benefits—higher omega-3 content to support skin and coat health—so they serve both elimination-diet needs and specific dermatologic goals. Technically more specialized than generic L.I.D. biscuits, they can replace or complement other limited-ingredient treats when skin and coat issues are the owner’s primary concern, though that targeted focus can come at a modest price premium. For consumers seeking therapeutic benefits alongside simple ingredient lists, GO! provides a strong, results-oriented option.

Old Mother Hubbard Classic Mini Biscuits are a long-standing choice for small breed crunch biscuits, prized for their oven-baked texture, nostalgic recipes, and generally affordable pricing that competes directly with Milk-Bone on value. Though not positioned as a premium, ingredient-forward option like Wellness or Blue Buffalo, Old Mother Hubbard delivers dependable crunch and portion-appropriate sizing for small dogs, making it attractive to owners seeking traditional treats with predictable cost and availability.

Old Mother Hubbard Classic Original Assortment Large Biscuits hold appeal as a heritage brand offering an assortment of baked crunchy biscuits with a consistent, traditional crunch and flavor variety that pleases picky large-breed dogs. While not as targeted as Northern Biscuit's wheat-free formula or as ingredient-forward as Blue Buffalo, Old Mother Hubbard combines a mid-range price point with nostalgic quality and flavor diversity that many owners value for training and everyday rewarding.

Zuke's Mini Naturals Training Treats earn a leader position for training-focused daily rewards because their very low-calorie, highly palatable mini treats allow handlers to deliver frequent rewards without contributing to weight gain. Compared with the crunchy-centered options on this list, Zuke's trades crunch for moisture and caloric efficiency, making it technically superior for extended training sessions and for owners who need to tightly manage daily calories.
