Dog treats are available in many different flavors, sizes, colors, shapes, and ingredients. However, like human junk food, trying to read the ingredients list of most dog treats reads like a medical dictionary and are very hard to understand. Dog treats are loaded with artificial ingredients, flavorings, additives, and preservatives. Consumed in excessive quantities, these treats can be harmful to your pet and even cause cancer,
Dog owners are turning to organic dog treats to reward their dogs and at the same time protect their health. As humans become more conscious about the chemicals and foods they put into their own bodies, so too are we becoming more conscious about the chemicals we feed our pets on a daily basis.
Organic dog treats are as close to being in a natural state as possible.
Organic dog treats are free of pesticides, insecticides, and other toxins that are prevalent in many foods today that often lead to disease.
Food labels can be very confusing. Often, "natural" dog treats are confused with "organic" dog treats. Natural and organic are not synonymous. In fact, organic foods are held to a higher standard than natural. The USDA has to certify a food as organic, and the food can be labeled as such. Natural dog treats are less expensive than organic dog treats, but the reliability is suspect. For example, "natural" can only guarantee that the food does not contain any food coloring or additives, such as sodium metabisulfite or ethoxyquin. These additives have been known to cause allergies, brain damage, even cancer.
With a little education you can help protect your loved ones health. It's best to take some time and really read what's on the label.
