FAQ'S

What makes a pet treat safe?

Pet treats are considered safe when they make up no more than 10% of a pet’s daily caloric intake and exclude toxic ingredients like Xylitol (birch sugar), artificial preservatives (BHA/BHT), and excessive sodium. For maximum safety, choose treats that are appropriately sized for your pet's breed to prevent choking and are sourced from reputable manufacturers that conduct regular pathogen testing.

My dog inhaled the treat. Is it normal for them to eat the chew so fast?

It sounds like you have a true treat enthusiast on your hands! Our meat-wrapped chews are designed to be completely delicious and100% fully digestible. However, every dog’s chewing power is different. For "power chewers" who finish snacks quickly, we recommend holding one end of thedurable beef cartilage stickor knotted bone while they chew the other. This encourages safer, slower gnawing and provides excellent interactive playtime, especially during those long indoor evenings in chillyMinnesota.

A general rule followed by top veterinarians across the country—fromSan Diego, CaliforniatoAtlanta, Georgia—is that treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily caloric intake. Always ensure your pup has access to plenty of fresh drinking water while enjoying their chews.
