Important Note on Dog Treats
Dog treats are often given daily, but they’re one of the easiest places for lower-quality ingredients to sneak in. Many conventional treats include artificial preservatives, flavorings, fillers, and unnecessary additives. I look for options with simple, recognizable ingredients that support overall health without overcomplicating things.
What I Avoid
When choosing dog treats, I avoid:
Artificial preservatives like BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin
Artificial flavors or colors
Low-quality fillers or byproducts
Excess garlic or onion
Carrageenan
Product Description
These are simple, crunchy dog biscuits made with a short list of recognizable ingredients. They use real bacon along with grain-based flours and peanut butter to create a straightforward, minimally processed treat. One unique aspect of these biscuits is the use of repurposed spent grains from breweries, which helps reduce food waste while still providing a functional ingredient base.
The texture is firm and crunchy, making them a good option for breaking into smaller pieces or using as an occasional reward. They’re designed to be easy to incorporate without adding unnecessary ingredients or complexity to your dog’s routine.

Things to Keep in Mind

Peanut butter should always be confirmed to be xylitol-free (this brand uses natural peanut butter)
