My dogs love smoked beef knuckles/knees from our butcher. But not expensive. Liverwurst too, which isn't gourmet like Liver dog treats sell for £7.60 per 100g In season deer legs are a favorite, and they're free.

I raised two puppies this past season; they’re nearly adults now and each has their own Doggy Condo in the Kennel Shed.
My house yard was LITTERED with deer parts all season long. They couldn’t find their own BUTTS at that age, but they could go into the woods and find deer parts to drag home!
Fancy pet treats? Nope. I leave dat chit to my Crazy Cat Lady sister. She can keep that part of the economy humming for the rest of us. ;)
