What are single ingredient dog treats? Simple is Better!
Funny how things finally come around. I have been helping folks out about reading their labels on pet food and treats for a long time now. It is wonderful to see the light go on in their heads when they get it. and now it seems, more and more of you are getting it!
Our signature line of jerky treats have ONLY 1 single ingredient. That’s it! Cut and dry. No holds barred. Done and Done.
What does that mean? Most of the jerky treats out there have added salts and sugars. Don’t need it. Don’t want it. Some even contain wheat!
See examples below:

Less is more! Easier to digest and keeps calories low.
Hmmm, do we see a pattern here? Let’s face it, if we don’t need added salt and sugar why does Fido need it? Dog food companies add these ingredients to cut costs and add these to make the net weight of the treat and kibble higher, thus certainly lessening the quality. Losing that stuff makes digestion easier not to mention bringing down the calories. So simplify!
