Why Bananas and Carrots?

  • Bananas are a great source of potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6, giving your dog a tasty boost without added sugar or salt.

  • Carrots are rich in beta-carotene (great for eye health) and provide a natural crunch dogs enjoy.


Combined with oats and whole wheat flour, these treats strike the perfect balance between healthy and satisfying.
