Grass-Fed Elk Jerky Dog Treats

Unfortunately, dog treats aren’t regulated for ingredient quality, processing methods, or long-term health side effects.

Manufacturers are allowed to use highly processed ingredients like "rendered animal by-products" which are highly processed meat remnants, organs, and other tissue from animals not approved for human consumption (including dead, dying, or disabled animals prior to processing - yuck!), synthetic additives and fillers, and more to boost flavor, reduce costs, and extend shelf life.

Many treats are cooked at super high temperatures which can destroy nutrients and reduce their bioavailability (meaning even if protein content appears high on the label, your dog absorbs less of it), and oxidize fats (which can cause inflammation and increase risk of disease in your dog).

Veterinarians and scientists recognize highly processed treats are associated with weight gain, digestive stress, and increased risk of chronic health issues.

The Hearty Paw was created to do things differently by prioritizing ingredient integrity, minimal processing, and your dog’s lifelong wellness over shortcuts.

At The Hearty Paw, every treat we carry is something we’d confidently give our own dogs to support their health and satisfy their tastebuds. We rigorously assess every dog treat for quality and benefit, prioritizing nutritious, whole ingredients and minimal processing. Unsurprisingly, most treats don’t make The Hearty Paw cut.

Our selection includes human-grade options, USDA-certified organic ingredients, grass-fed and wild-caught proteins, and treats made without GMOs, artificial preservatives, or unnecessary additives whenever possible.
