New Flavors (lots of work!)

At Teddy’s Goodies we try to keep up with the trends, but be sure there are only the freshest ingredients and limited ones at that, to be found now or in the future in our treats.  After all, a dog in the wild is not looking for the latest smoothie combo to fill its tummy.

Turkey, chicken, liver, hearts!  The possibilities are endless!

This week we’ve worked on chicken gizzards, hearts and livers.  We are starting with just plain, with a bit of water-soluble vitamin e and sea salt to help preserve it during and after the dehydration process.

 

While Teddy is the Official Taste Tester, after all, his name and likeness is on the bag, Sheba did overrule him on the gizzards.

The livers, from Bell and Evans, were so fresh, they didn’t even smell like liver, just fresh chicken.  They were also bigger than what we are used to seeing in the stores, so, they need to be cut into smaller strips.

The dogs loved them!

The gizzards, Teddy liked them, but Sheba loved them!

The hearts are still in the dehydrators, so, we’ll keep you posted.

I’m thinking of adding organic rosemary infused extra virgin olive oil to the gizzards.  Rosemary is good for the dogs, and it may keep them softer after dehydration.

We’ll keep you posted, but if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to add your comments!

Why no vegetable glycerin?

The price of teddy’s goodies is competitive with other high quality brands, but, we don’t add vegetable glycerin to our products, so, pets get more of the real chicken, or whichever meat product they choose.

Vegetable glycerin does make the product chewier, and it does add weight to the product, but we have decided to never add it.

The result is more actual meat used to produce the product in each one of our bags.  Checkout the number of chicken breast strips in our bag compared to another brand.  We have more, hands down!

I believe that vegetable glycerin, also used in making soap, is what causes upset stomachs in pets when they eat too many treats.

Treats should always be just that, a treat, to reward your pet, or just let it know you love him or her, and used in moderation.

While we could increase our profits by adding lower cost ingredients, we just refuse to do so.

Know that when you order ‘all natural teddy’s goodies’ you are getting pure ingredients from a reliable, trustworthy, and verifiable source!
