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

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats stands out as a best-in-class option by targeting pet owners seeking grain-free, higher-protein meat-forward crunch biscuits with transparent ingredient sourcing, positioning it above mainstream brands on perceived nutritional quality. Though pricier than mass-market biscuits like Milk-Bone, Blue Buffalo’s premium positioning and targeted formulation (grain-free, real-meat flavors) deliver a technical advantage for dogs with grain sensitivities or owners willing to pay more for boutique nutrition. Against smaller artisanal competitors, it scales better financially through wider distribution while retaining a premium margin.

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.

Darford Naturals Crunchy Minis with Brown Rice stands out as a best-in-class whole-grain training treat thanks to its brown rice focus and bite-size crunchy profile that supports dental abrasion. It offers a simple, cost-effective ingredient list and bulk-friendly pricing that undercuts premium supergrain options like quinoa while delivering more whole-grain content than some fruit-forward bars.

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.

Milk-Bone MaroSnacks earns its spot for offering dependable, widely available large-breed crunch biscuits at a very competitive price, giving owners a budget-friendly everyday option. Compared with the wheat-free Northern Biscuit and the premium Blue Buffalo bars, Milk-Bone stands out for broad retail presence and value, and it delivers a consistent crunchy texture that larger dogs enjoy while still being fortified with basic vitamins and minerals.

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.
