The bite-sized treats are great for sticking in your pocket as training aids. They're made from a base of coconut meal, beet pulp, alfalfa and flaxseed oil. None of the flavors have added sugar. The treats also break apart easily, so they're a good choice for older horses who have issues chewing. As an added bonus, the mint flavor will give your horse's breath a nice smell!

The delightful designs look good enough to eat yourself, including cannolis, cookies, pizzas, pop tarts and plenty of seasonal designs as well. The treats are made from natural ingredients, and the company—started by Carrie Sarabella—also offers a small variety of treats without added sugar. You can purchase edibles for your canine companions too. The treats can take some time to ship due to overwhelming demand.

The adorable tidbits come in a few varieties that humans and dogs can enjoy too. (I tried the cranberry granola bites, which were quite tasty.) These treats are all a little delicate, so I wouldn't recommend sticking them in your pocket. But they are soft enough they could be used for feeding a pill. The treats come in mint-o-roni or molasses sausage flavors, and they even come in 5' personal sizes that look they could have been delivered from your local pizza joint!
