Healthy, functional: New pet treats

Pet treats continue to grow in popularity as pet owners search for pet food/treat-related solutions to pet ailments. The treats space has become a good old-fashioned sense of fun and bonding with one’s pet.

Pet Treats Factory noticed a growing trend for healthier pet products, ​which manufactures all-natural dog treats sourced and made with superior ingredients. Pets are part of our families, and their health and well-being should be our concern. People want to maximize the short life our pets have with us. We will see an increased demand for manufacturers to step up and make healthy treats and foods as pet parents become more educated and concerned about their best friend’s health.

In an era of pet ownership where obesity is a common struggle and there’s some consumer pushback against what might be called “filler” ingredients, treats — already “extras” — are under increased scrutiny. That means whatever populates pet store shelves must prove its wellness worth in one way or another. For Pet Treats Factory, that means using whole muscle meat, minimal processing and limited ingredients. Their biscuits include nine ingredients: whole muscle meat, flaxseed, water, eggs, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples and blueberries. Their jerky includes five: a lean protein, vegetable glycerin, potassium sorbate, sugar and salt. For more than 10 years, at Pet Treats Factory, health has always been a priority alongside taste. 

Pet Treats Factory has focused on expanding their current lines with recent new flavors that appeal to the health aspect as well as the bonding/fun aspect of treating pets. Pet Treats Factory has been developing new recipes that are unique, low-calorie and complement the existing portfolio of wholesome, natural treats. They aim to create engaging flavors that would appeal to pet parents, like Bacon & Eggs and Beef Liver & Cheddar. 

If you’re looking to produce a stand-out pet treat, feel free to contact Pet Treats Factory. Health and wellness continue to be top of mind for pet owners, magnified by the last two years of global health concerns and more time spent home with furry family members. Any trend in the larger pet food arena is fair game: Sustainability, traceability and functional ingredients are all on the list of wins in consumer mind. Lastly, treats are seen as a bonding experience, whether during training or as a snack between meals or just a fun way to connect.
