Tag: Raw Dog Food

Vegetable patches all over the country are producing wonderfully tasty food this summer. We at Best Bully Sticks could not be more excited about the array of vegetables and herbs this time of year! Tomatoes, squash, zucchini and cucumber are just some of the wholesome food that you can grow in your own back yard, or find fresh in farmer’s markets! If you enjoy these summer eats, then include your dog, too!

Remember, your dog’s ancestors were wild animals who scavenged and ate fruits and vegetables readily. Sharing vegetables with your dog is a great way to add healthy, nutritious vitamins and minerals to his diet. Read more to find out which vegetables you can share with your dog.

Pumpkin
Not just for Halloween and Thanksgiving anymore, pumpkin is a great source of vitamins and minerals for your dog. Beta-carotene, which is a great source of Vitamin A, and fiber are two of the biggest benefits pumpkin provides your pup. Just like humans, dogs need a healthy amount of fiber in their diet to keep their digestive system “regular.” Boiling fresh pumpkin and adding to your dog’s food is a great way to bring this vegetable into your dog’s diet.

Sweet Potato
These orange root vegetables are another great source of beta-carotene, Vitamin A and dietary fiber. Sweet Potatoes are also full of Vitamin C, K, manganese and potassium. Dogs love sweet potato and whether it’s dried into jerky or mashed into their food, your dog will be getting a tasty treat with tons of nutrients! Best Bully Sticks has a full line of Sweet Potato dog treats that your pooch will drool over!

Squash/Zucchini
Squash is similar to pumpkin in its digestive benefits, but is also great as a raw crunchy snack too. This gourd veggie is full of beta-carotene as well.

Zucchini is full of beta-carotene, calcium, potassium and folates. Give zucchini slices to your dog raw or frozen for a great green snack!

Green Beans & Peas
Frozen or thawed, dogs love green beans and peas! Your dog will benefit from the plant fiber, Vitamin C & K and manganese in green beans.  If your dog is overweight or constantly seems hungry, green beans are a great food replacement and snack. These empty calorie beans are a great all-purpose, round the clock food for your dog.

Peas are similarly nutritious for your pup and can be added straight to your dog’s food as well. Peas are a great source of B vitamin Thiamin, phosphorous and potassium.

Cucumber
Instead of sneaking a crunchy chip to your dog, sneak him a crunchy cucumber! These great dog snacks are low in calories and have lots of good calcium, potassium and beta-carotene.

Baby Carrots
Like cucumber, baby carrots are a great crunchy snack for your dog. Carrots are chock-full of beta-carotene! Raw, cooked or cut into carrot chips are great ways to give carrots to your dog. An added health benefit of feeding your dog carrots is the breath freshening property! Read more

Best Bully Sticks knows it’s easy to forget that our dogs were once wild animals. They didn’t sleep half the day, they didn’t chase after plastic bouncy balls, and they didn’t wear clothes, go to the groomer or get their toenails painted. Your sweet pooch is a descendant of wild dogs and before that, wolves! You have to remember that trapped somewhere inside that cute, cuddly exterior is a wild animal! You live with a wild animal! Isn’t that more than a little strange to think about?

That being said, your dog’s descendants definitely didn’t eat that dry brown food that comes out of a bag. Not that bagged dog food isn’t good. A good food provides all the necessary vitamins, minerals and proteins your dog needs. However, owners forget that dogs are natural hunters and scavengers and ate as much vegetation and roughage as they did meat.  Dog owners sometimes have a stigma of offering their dogs human food, thinking that it isn’t good for them. The fact is, there are some very nutritional and wholesome foods that are great for your dog and you shouldn’t be afraid to share. Over the next three weeks Best Bully Sticks will take you through some natural, “human” foods that will feed your dog and his wild side. Today we’re talking about fruit!

Banana
Most families have bananas on hand in their house for a healthy and quick snack. Your dog can benefit from the same high potassium levels, fiber, magnesium B6 and C vitamins as well as all the good antioxidants in bananas that you will when eating this berry. In a pinch, bananas can help remedy a troubled doggy stomach and you can easily mix banana in with your dog’s dry food to make it more appealing. However, some dogs don’t like bananas because of the compounds that make this berry smell, well, like a banana.

Cantaloupe
This great summer melon is cool and refreshing, so give your pup the benefits of vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants and fiber that cantaloupe offers. Make sure you remove all seeds when serving to your dog. You can serve fresh or even mix it with other fruit, freeze and serve as a doggy popsicle. You might even join in on that! Read more

We are very happy to be carry Oma's Pride , an exciting, super healthy line of raw, freeze-dried dog food just as nature intended!  This food contains ground beef, beef tripe, beef trachea, and fine ground beef bone. That is it! All of these ingredients are produced using a patented, breakthrough technology so that all nutrients are retained in the food.

Many dry pet foods contain high levels of sugar, salt, and preservatives. In addition, the cooking process that dry food undergos rids the food of many of the important nutrients that our pets need. Questionable chemicals are also added to dry food to make the product a "balanced diet". You do not have to worry about that with these foods.

All you have to do is rehydrate the food by crumbling it into warm water. It can also be fed with water on the side. This is a 4 oz pack and contains 9 disks. A full pack is equivalent to 1 lb of raw food.

Did you say Gullet Spirals & Pretzels?

If your pooch loves our gullets, these Gullet Spirals & Gullet Pretzels will be a huge hit too! They look much like a spiral curly bully stick or flossie, but are made of gullet. They are naturally high in glucosamine and chondroitin and as with all of our beef chews, come from free range grass fed bulls. They are approximately 6" long (although they do vary) and have a slight odor that dogs go absolutely crazy for! (Although these are a chew, they do have a softer consistency and will not last as long as bully sticks or trachea).

Not your average gullet, these chews are wrapped in the shape of a pretzel. They are naturally high in glucosamine and chondroitin and as with all of our beef chews, come from free range grass fed bulls. They are approximately 3" wide x 2" high (although they do vary) and do have a slight odor that dogs go absolutely crazy for! (Although these are a chew, they do have a softer consistency and will not last as long as bully sticks or trachea).

Lamb Weasand are all natural gullets from US free range lamb

Lamb Weasand are all natural gullets from US free range lamb. They are twisted together to form the equivalent of a lamb jerky/chew. These are great for keeping teeth and gums healthy and clean. They are USDA approved and have no preservatives or chemicals added to them. The Weasands are packaged bulk in bags and are sure to please all sizes of dogs. We recommend this item as a chew for dogs 40lbs and less and more of a treat (jerky) for larger dogs. These chews are high in glucosamine which aids in joint health!

Dogs Go Bonkers for Our Bully Bites! Now they come in a convenient jar!

This is the best of both worlds, bully bites and a handy container to store them in. This resealable, screw top container contains approximately 3/4 lb. of our odor free bully bites. They are great as a chew for small dogs or as a good boy/girl treat for bigger dogs. The size of each piece varies from 1" to 4" long.

Dog's Don't Get to Have all the Fun! Its time for a game of catnip & mouse.

Well, not exactly a dog toy, but a toy that you cat's are sure to love. Like the other West Paw stuffed toys, this West Paw mouse is made from recycled soda bottles. "Each toy utilizes environmentally friendly fabric made from 85% recycled soda bottles, and contains USDA Certified Organic catnip sewn inside. Providing your cat with healthy and safe toys that live on beyond one bottle!" This mouse is small enough to bat around, yet big enough to really sink some claws into. This toy also contains a bell and a leather tail.
