      🦴 How to Serve These Treats 

      Although these treats are extremely healthy, they're best utilized as rewards, training rewards, or an occasional special treat. They're not meant to be a substitute for your dog's regular meal, but they're a great addition to your natural pet food regimen. 

      For toy-sized dogs or cats, we advise crumbling the treats. The simplicity of the ingredients means your pets have a digestible, low-risk snack—useful for animals with food sensitivities.  

      “Everything we make at Ruff Town Treats is designed to support pets’ well-being while making treat time fun and rewarding,” adds Nancy Hierl. “From ingredient sourcing to packaging, our standards are built on love for animals and our dedication to health.”

      🌱 Why Choose Grain-Free Pet Treats? 

      Grain-free diets have become popular for a reason. Most dogs have grain allergies, gluten intolerance, or digestive problems. Others just do better on a high-protein, meat-based diet. The secret to selecting the correct treat is transparency—knowing what goes into your dog's food and why. 

      Here’s what all of our grain-free treats have in common: 

      • High-quality, whole protein sources 
      • No grains, fillers, or gluten 
      • No preservatives, chemicals, or artificial flavoring 
      • Designed with love by dog lovers, for dogs
