Healthy Dog Treats…Do They Really Exist?

Healthy Dog Treats…Is there such a thing?

Have you ever taken a few minutes when shopping for treats for your dogs, and actually read the ingredients of your favorite purchased “goodies” for that special member of your family?

Do you think that other pet owners Stop and look and read those same labels? You bet they do, and many of those owners “shop” for the best supplements and treats for their four legged family members.

This reading of the labels and concerned shopping often leads these pet owners to try and find only the Best Dog Treats for their family members.

They are concerned with the tough to pronounce ingredients, the preservatives, the grains, and questionable animal proteins that are in their dogs treats.

This leads to a story of my dogs getting some of the best dog treats made. These treats lead to an enterprise that helped our family for many years. My Wife made a batch of super healthy dog treats one afternoon, that launched her into a business that lasted for a number of years.

Her treats initially came from a recipe that had no written guidelines.  It was just a clean out the freezer document and blend it all together, knead, roll out, cut and bake.

In all honesty they looked terrible, and smelled the same.

They had the texture of roof shingles, and looked like well weathered bark strips in Fall. They smelled like a small dried sausage with a beer chaser and some garlic coating. Even though they looked terrible, the truth was they were LOVED by our dogs, and they absolutely were one hundred percent fresh and healthy.

Does baking for a few days in your kitchen, and providing some of the best fresh dog treats sound like something that you could envision to make income during these tough times?

If it is important for you to provide fresh healthy preservative free treats to your dog clients
then this is a profession you must look into.  If you can follow some super easy recipes and can stay organized, and on point, this is a business that can add income to your family bottom line.

The business of making the best gourmet dog treats is an activity that pays the bills, and also can be passed on to upcoming family members or teenagers. .

There was an enormous amount of pet food recalled. Where does it all go and how can the public be sure it is destroyed and not put back into circulation, possibility in another country.

Here’s what they had to say… give your opinions

Thank you for taking the time to write about Wellness® Dry Dog Food.

We perform a limited amount of food trials. We are passionate about our pets and their nutrition. We are very fortunate to have many consumers and employees that help us during the development of our diets and treats. We provide product for in-home trials and we talk to every person to find out how their cat or dog likes the food or treat. We also learn about the stool quality and any other benefits the food may provide such as improving skin & coat or palatability.

It is also important for us to understand some other important nutritional information such as digestibility or how our food compares in taste to other brands. For this, we occasionally use kennels with standard processes that provide reliable information. The kennels are selected based on them sharing the same philosophy towards animal welfare that we do. For instance, the dogs are socialized every day and the cats enjoy a specially designed play area. The dogs and cats are also available for adoption to the kennel employees and their families.

As animal lovers, we have to be comfortable with the choices we make to ensure our diets are complete, balanced and proven. We are very proud to rely on our own consumers, employees, and like-minded kennels to stand behind our natural products.

We appreciate your feedback and your suggestion to have that information provided on our website or label will be forwarded to our Marketing Department.

Thanks again for contacting us.

In the article in Pet Connection.com it stated that they found melamine in the dog and cat food but it was not wheat gluten it was the rice Protein. It was found in the Natural Balance pet foods.
Melamine is a fertilizer and it is not good for animals.

I heard about the whole tainted food incident…
So what disease(?) does your pet get,
if your pet eats the tainted pet food?
I feel soo bad for the pets, and do what I can do to stop them
from dying everywhere… but what kind of disease do they get?

It has to be from pet supplies plus.
Thank you I am looking at it now and I think my only choice (price wise) may be the chicken soup
If I couldn’t find them a grain free food within are price range I would rather them eat that then corn or wheat since rice is gluten free. They aren’t my cats they are my moms I have been giving her the guilt trip about feeding them bad food.

I know that Vet’s get very little training on pet nutrition, I feel upset that they recommend Iams, Science Diet, Hill’s Science and Medi-cal. They are just recommending the companies that gave them grants in school. These all contain by-products, wheat gluten and corn and not to mention they were all involved in the pet recall of 2007.

Is there a way to find a Vet that knows about pet nutrition beyond what they learned in school? I checked the yellow pages but none of them say anything about healthy nutrition, there was only one holistic Vet.
So I called my current Vet recently and asked them what they recommend, which is the above. I asked the person on the phone what they knew about Wellness cat food, she had no idea what I was talking about. I guess I should talk to the Vet herself.
She is probably a competent Vet in all other aspects so as long as I know what I’m feeding her that is what is important.

Now that many of our pets have died, and many pet food manufacturers (including Purina) are recalling their products, how do we go about changing the way that pet food companies conduct their business? How do we insist that they stop outsourcing their business to suspect countries, suspect vendors, thereby endangering our precious pets? Humans will be next to be endangered by the “outsourced” food industry, mark my words.
