West Paw is now producing its first-ever dog treats and the freeze-dried dog treats are available in two varieties that will appeal to ingredient-conscious pet owners—limited-ingredient and single-ingredient. The new treats from the sustainable pet product company shine a spotlight on six proteins and superfood vegetable additions in the case of the limited-ingredient treats. Each product pouch includes a window that counts the number of ingredients included in the recipe, which will only be a handful of ingredients like sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, broccoli, spinach and goat milk—adding up to a total of six ingredients at most.
In the summer, consumers can look forward to a third variety of freeze-dried dog treats being added to the line.
