Natura's Treat line

Posted : 5/30/2006 6:00:56 PM

I was browsing on the Natura site and noticed they seemed to have a new line of treats. [linkhttp://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=mot-home]http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=mot-home[/link]
Just curious as to the content of wheat in all of these. Wheat is one of the top allergens in dogs and I was wondering why they were marketing these products. [8|]

I noticed those too and was wondering the same thing. They rave about their foods being "wheat free" and now they put it in thier treats.
On the other hand, for a dog that doesn't have allergies they look really great.

Yup, I was excited when I saw they had new treats, then I saw the ingredients. [:'(]

I'll stick to the health bars, when Gingerbread eats wheat his ears flare up like crazy. I found out that it's surprisingly hard to find wheat free treats. EVERY single one at Petsmart as wheat and at my local petstore, the only one that doesn't have wheat is the Innova Health bars.

Anyway, yeah it doesn't really make sense that they tout their wheat free food and then put it in the treats.... [&:]

I was a bit confused by it myself. I thought that, other than the wheat, they looked great.
I have been giving my dogs the EP Holistix biscutts (which they really enjoy and no wheat), but thought I would try the new Mother Nature ones. Then I saw they had wheat in them.

I've been feeding the mother nature treats for years.They arent new. I'm not sure if Natura actually make them or not,i know they are somehow involved,but how,i dont know.
On the back of the pack is a picture of a couple(man/lady) talking about how she came about making these treats. I dont have a pack around now or else i would post the website addy,which isnt naturapet.com.
By the way my dogs love the 4way treats[
