The Benefits of High Protein Dog Treats
Wellness is key when it comes to taking care of your furry companion. As discussed in our last blog about single ingredient treats, everything you put in your dog’s body matters and their overall health and wellness is extremely important to the quality of their lives. From exercise to nutrition, every factor plays a role in your dog's overall health. As a dog lover, you want to make sure your pup is living their best life, and that means giving them treats that are not only delicious but also beneficial for their health. That's why we're excited to introduce Bow Wow Labs' Beef Lung dog treats, which are packed with benefits for your pup.
Beef lung is a fantastic treat for dogs of all ages and sizes, even for those with sensitive stomachs. Not only is it highly palatable, but it's also a great source of protein, making it an ideal snack for active dogs. The best part? Our Beef Lung treats are made with only one ingredient, making them a healthy and nutritious option for your furry friend.
But what makes Beef Lung treats so beneficial for your pup's health? For starters, they are a natural source of vitamins and minerals. Whole foods are more easily absorbed by your dog's body compared to synthetic supplements (1), making natural sources like Beef Lung an important choice for their health.
Beef Lung is high in vitamin B12 (2), which supports the normal functioning of the nervous system and the formation of red blood cells. It's also a rich source of selenium2, an essential mineral that supports a healthy immune system, cognitive function, and other bodily functions like thyroid function, hormonal balance, and metabolic health. These treats also contain copper, which helps transport iron in the body and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
Heme iron is another key nutrient found in Beef Lung treats. This type of iron is more readily absorbed by the body and supports vital functions such as the GI process, temperature regulation, and immune system health (3).
It’s believed that feeding organs from a healthy animal can help strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ in the one consuming it. At Bow Wow Labs, we believe in this theory, which is why we are proud to offer our pet customers only the best products.
In addition to our Beef Lung dog treats, we also offer a wide variety of single-ingredient treats like Esophagus Chews, Pork Lung, and Crunch Puffs. Every dog has unique needs, so it's important to understand what works best for your pup and nourish them accordingly.
We understand the importance of knowing what goes into your dog's treats, and that's why we're proud to offer natural, healthy options like our Beef Lung treats. So go ahead, give your furry friend a treat worth barking about – in more ways than one! Be Well with BWL.
*Remember, treats should never make up more than 10% of your dog's total daily caloric intake.
