Grain Free Nibbles

Since our core site philosophy is to provide single ingredient animal based healthy dog treats, you might wonder why we have a ‘grain free’ nibbles category at all.

The reason sits in the space that not everyone who wants a soft treat (we have an actual category for that) – wants one that includes any grains.

Most commercial dog food still uses plant flour as the major base for it, because corporations figure that animal based dog food would be too expensive for the big margins that they expect.

But some people want a dog treat that has just as much meat (if not more) in it, than their regular dog food.  While each products description has a list of ingredients in it, we created this category to assist those looking mostly for small combination treats that didn’t have grain in them.

Some of the dog treats we place in the ‘grain free’ category, are 100% single ingredients, like most of our dog training treats. And some are the milk based treats we have such as yogurt and carob buttons.

But we also have a great range of treats we call ‘nibbles’ that are about double the meat and offal in them, than you will find in may dog foods.

Anyway, this is the reason for the category and how we go out of our way to help you understand genuine healthy dog treat choices for your dog !
