All Natural Treats for Dogs
What is the definition of a Natural dog treat and why Max & Ruffy’s makes our treats this way!
You may be asking yourself what does the term “all natural dog treats” really mean and why should I purchase them for my companion. According to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), a voluntary membership association of local, state and federal agencies charged by law to regulate the sale and distribution of animal feeds and animal drug remedies, the term “natural” means:
“a feed or ingredient derived solely from plant, animal or mined sources, either in its unprocessed state or having been subject to physical processing, heat processing, rendering, purification, extraction, hydrolysis, enzymolysis or fermentation, but not having been produced by or subject to a chemically synthetic process and not containing any additives or processing aids that are chemically synthetic except in amounts as might occur unavoidably in good manufacturing practices.”
That being stated, a treat that has chemicals added to it would not be considered natural. Here at Max & Ruffy’s, we are sticklers for using only pure, simple, organic ingredients in our products. No chemicals, no additives, no anything you can’t pronounce, just nutritious ingredients from the earth. We strongly beleive that feeding Max & Ruffy’s treats can lend to the total well-being of your companion thereby helping to keep him/her healthy for the future and potentially saving you money on costly vet bills that are often associated with poor diets or diets loaded with unnatural preservatives, additives and artificial colorings and flavors. For example, some dog foods and treats contain chemical preservatives known as BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin. These are three dangerous chemical preservatives that have been linked as cancer-causing agents, yet are still permitted for use by the pet food industry.
We hope that this information can help you in making an informed decision regarding the treats that you offer to your companion. Go all natural, treat with Max & Ruffy’s and contribute to your companion’s well-being!
