Have you read your dog treat label lately? You've probably noticed the phrase, "Contains meat by-products." Ever wonder what that means? If you really want to know, "meat by-products" are "tissue from dead, diseased or disabled animals, including hair, hide, beaks, feathers and hooves." Is that something you would eat? Of course not, and neither should your dog. Just as unappealing, non-natural dog treats often include sodium nitrate, a preservative and coloring agent found in hot dogs, bacon and treated meats to give these products a reddish "meat" tint. The color is added for you, for the sake of appearances, since most dogs appear to have only limited color perception. Fortunately, you have a choice. Bow Wow Bistro dog treats are all-natural and contain no by-products, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or chemicals. At the Bow Wow Bistro careful attention is paid to the ingredients that best promote a long and healthy life for you dog. Bone Appetit! Copyright © 2000, Bow Wow Bistro, Inc.
