Who invented dog treats

Decade upon decade of making dog food and dog treats more unnaturally irresistible to the dog pallet, and mass advertising making you feel guilty at not feeding your dog more grain based concoctions ensured that the dog biscuit and its many variations were engrained into the dog owner psyche as proper food.

The honest truth is that meat costs money to produce, a LOT more than grain. And that reduces the margin that dog treat makers can make, if they have to price the product low enough for people to afford a lot. As Australia exports more meat and farm companies become rich, Australian humans and dogs have carelessly decreased their meat intake. Unfortunately after decades of being convinced that grain biscuits are good for dogs, its become easy for owners to be convinced that its true and save a few bucks.

Many people honestly believe that a carnivore dog actually deserves highly processed vegetable products?! On a primarily vegetable diet dogs also miss the enzymes in meat that the carnivore utilises for full health..

It is the first step in concerned dog nutritionist fight to get dog food education properly addressed. However it is likely to be used by the powerful dog food manufactures to continue legitimising an unregulated, unhealthy dog industry that flourishes globally. Jack Spratt and his 19th century invention signalled the beginning of the end for proper dog nutrition globally.

My younger dog was overweight despite the fact that she was very active and on a strict low calorie diet. She has slimmed down quite a bit. We were skeptical of feeding raw. Finally we decided to take the plunge.

The first surprise was, my dogs loved it. And the goat milk yogurt is a complete hit! They all love it. We had one small issue with the shipping and after one email everything was taken care of. But now that it's been several months we have noticed many other things.

None of my dogs chew on their feet anymore. None of my dogs have itchy flaky skin anymore. And they are all pretty and shiny with tons of energy. My dog was a picky eater and overweight. After 4 months of eating this raw diet he is almost at his recommended weight.

I no longer have to coax him to eat by doctoring up his kibble. He eats the food as is and empties his bowl right away. I wanted to give a shout out to Tara at the corporate office. She really went above and beyond! I had several questions about switching my dog over to raw food and the transition that's involved. She shared what her own dog went through and how raw dog food helped. Tara made me feel comfortable and was so kind and thoughtful to take the time out of her busy day to be so helpful.

Thanks so much for being so awesome, Tara. It meant a lot to me and because of the experience I had and the kindness you showed to me, I will continue to be a grateful customer and will recommend Steve's to all my fellow dog moms and dads.
