Beautiful Spring Treats

Dogs, like people, can suffer from allergies. Jennifer Wilner, founder and President of K9 Confections, recognized this in her own dog, Dutchess, and took control. She started a company that specializes in premium, all-natural and organic dog and cat treats that contain no added salt or sugar, artificial flavorings, fillers or preservatives. All of the products are free of wheat, corn and soy, and made with the highest-quality human-grade ingredients, using USDA Certified organic grains.

In addition to being healthy, these treats are also gorgeous! The Spring collection includes bunnies, chicks and eggs that are all hand-made. You'll also find Easter Salmon Sweet Potato Dog Treats and Pumpkin Biscotti.

Mellow Mut--Natural Treats for Your Dog!

While browsing in Whole Foods Market, I came across Mellow Mut--all natural jerky treats enriched with antioxidants. Dogswell--an all natural pet food company--makes these treats along with dry and canned food for both dogs and cats. All of the food is grain-free and made with cage-free chickens.

Mellow Mut treats are made with natural, cage-free chicken breast and include added nutrients such as chamomile, lavender, and vitamin E to help calm your dog.

Jax ate these treats like there was no tomorrow. While he did appear more mellow, I cannot say for certain if it was due to the treats or the hour and a half hike in the Wissahickon Valley...either way, he was one satisfied pup and I will definitely be purchasing these treats again.

Get the treats on-line or at Whole Foods Market. Dogswell also has a store locator so that you can find the closest location to purchase these delightfully delicious treats for your pup.
