"Treat" them Right



Modern Dog Magazine recently cited a variety of "People Food" Good for Dogs which included:
  1. Oatmeal
  2. Apples
  3. Brewers yeast
  4. Eggs
  5. Broccoli
  6. Sweet Potatoes
  7. Pumpkin
  8. Salmon
  9. Flax Seed or Oil
  10. Lean Meats, Freeze Dried Liver

Obviously 'Home Made" and Fresh is best, but for those times you can't find the time may we suggest:
  • Pet Naturals of Vermont Garden Bites
          Packed full of Brewers yeast, flax seed,Apples and MORE
  • Pet'N Shape Freeze Dried Chicken Liver plus Sweet Potato and Broccoli
          Freeze Dried naturally preserves liver,broccoli and sweet potato 
  •  Wagatha's breakfast Biscuits    
        Eggs , oatmeal, flax seed
  • Grizzly Nu Treats
          Real bits of Wild Alaskan Salmon

  • Fruitables Pumpkin and Blueberry

          They speak for themselves

Dogs Love to Chew


Dogs like to chew...Why we prefer Antlerz over rawhide.

  • Much longer lasting
  • Very green IE: They come from a sustainable renewable source as deer shed them naturally every year, with NO harm to the deer
  • Rich in minerals
  • Help clean teeth better than softer choices

This is our primary reason for not treating with rawhide 

 Rawhides are much softer and in general do not last as long as deer antlers. Because they are soft, rawhides may also be torn into large chunks which, swallowed whole instead of being chewed, may cause intestinal blockage. .....Tay and Tara have both done this , fortunately they escaped any blockage .

Antlerz are a 100% natural, mineral rich, long lasting dog chew. The new chew is made from a natural material that is rich in minerals, does not splinter and comes from a completely renewable source: Deer Antlers! Wild deer shed their antlers once a year as part of a natural process, after which the deer re-grow another set. These shed antlers are gathered by ranch workers and transported to QT Dog's manufacturing facility. The antlers are cut to the appropriate size, cleaned, and packaged to produce dog chews. ANTLERZ™ hold up substantially longer than most traditional chews made from plastic, bone, or compacted starch. A minerals analysis of these dog chews show high concentrations of calcium and phosphorus, with trace amounts iron, zinc, and sodium. Unlike processed livestock bones ANTLERZ™ don't chip or splinter when they are being used by even the most aggressive chewing dogs. A dog's chewing action grinds ANTLERZ™ down slowly. Deer antlers are a 100% natural, mineral rich dog chew that contains no plastics, no petrochemicals, no empty starches or artificial flavors.

What do your dogs chew on?
