Treat Of The Week – Grandma Lucy’s Organic Oven Baked Dog Treats
Distributed by B2K Pet Products Singapore,
Grandma Lucy’s Organic Dog Treats is the latest range of treats to be retailing
here in Singapore. Aimed at pet owners who are conscious about what goes into
the diet of their furkids, these oven-baked goodies are GMO-free, contain no
by-products, no artificial colouring flavours, sweeteners and preservatives.
Grandma Lucy also uses raw, human-grade ingredients which are sourced locally
in the United States, which are USDA-inspected.
Though relatively new here in Singapore, Grandma
Lucy’s Organic Dog Treats has been available in the United States for more than
a decade. Friends living overseas have also assured me that the brand has had
quite a good reputation all these years and so far have not been involved inany food recalls.
But how will these new range of treats
stand out in such a competitive market and will pet owners be swayed to feed
their canines organically today?
THE
WONG DOGS REVIEW
I have
always loved the use of fruits in the diets of Cory and Cole. However, peach
was a relatively new ingredient for the boy so I am still a little biased
towards blueberries. Apprehension grew as I realised there are no meat
proteins included. Some Singaporean pet owners have also bemoaned the the
absence of popular proteins such as lamb and chicken, citing reasons such as
picky dogs.
However, The Wong Dogs are not too concerned as Grandma Lucy’s
Organic Oven Baked Dog Treats are not meant to be a complete diet. In fact, a
little meat-free treats might do them good in the long run as there have been
studies showing that a diet that has too much protein can lead to several skin
and kidney issues.
Upon
opening the bag, I immediately realised the strong aroma of fruits which got
many of the canines at the dog park running towards me.
The human taste-test
revealed Grandma Lucy’s Organic Oven Basked Dog Treats to be quite tasty. No
wonder Cory and Cole could not get enough of these little teddy-bear shaped
biscuits. Also, one of the mantras of Grandma Lucy includes, “If
it is not good enough for humans to eat, it will never be included in our food
or treats…”
Retailing
at $26.90, it is a slightly more expensive than most treats. But for a
relatively large bag of organic (human-grade) and oven-baked treats that have
been USDA-inspected, the price is actually quite reasonable.
Most
interestingly, these treats are certified Kosher though one might question how
this might be relatable to the majority of Muslims here in Singapore.
Especially where there is still a stigma against owning or even touching a dog.
Singaporeans
will be glad to know that the entire range Grandma Lucy’s Organic Oven Baked
Dog Treats is available here and The Wong Dogs cannot wait to check out, and of
course for Cory and Cole sample the rest, such as Cranberry and Pumpkin! Hmmm…
Since Peach and Blueberry tasted quite good, I might even steal a couple from
my next few bags! :p
