    Good news - the only consequence that will come as a result of your furbaby consuming treats from is that they will absolutely adore you for giving them such yummy treats! takes pride in producing all of their treats by hand, without adding any preservatives, chemicals, or additives - this ensures that all the treats in their range are not only tasty, but healthy too.

    As some background information, the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) has received reports of illnesses in pets associated with the consumption of jerky pet treats since 2007 - the number of complaints has since dropped since the FDA recalled products from several well-known brands believed to comprise the majority of the jerky pet treat market. Well-known brands does not always mean "better", as it really depends on where the company chooses to import meat from.

    Why should I give my dog treats from ?

    Although the FDA stipulates that jerky pet treats are not required as part of a complete and balanced diet for your pet, I'm sure the majority of pawrents like to treat their much-loved pooch from time to time (or in other words, all the time!) - I'm certainly no exception to this. However, treats in reasonable amounts is not only great for improving the bond between dog and owner (or furbaby and pawrent), but also a great behaviour modification technique when used as positive reinforcement - giving treats is more than an expression of love, it's also a critical component in dog training and rewarding good behaviour.

    Of course, rewarding good behaviour is silly if they're going to get sick from eating the tricks - and this is where comes in. With an impressively extensive range of treats in their product line, there is a treat (or two or three) that will suit even the pickiest of picky dogs. From the classic favourites of pigs ears and roo tails, to rarer picks including ox tongue and lamb tongue, has got all their bases covered and more.


    How much do treats from cost?

    Prices are very reasonable and can be bought in smaller quantities by individuals who visit 's store at very low prices. I was blown away by how cheaply they were selling their products even to individual customers rather than wholesale. sell deer antlers at the cheapest prices I've seen after scouting out both market stalls and pet shops (independent and franchised) - Eddy got a decently sized one for just $5. Despite buying quite a few other chew treats, mostly products that Eddy nor I had ever encountered before, our total came to only $20 which is such a bargain.


    What treats do have in their range?

    Where can I purchase dog treats?

    Luckily for dog owners who are after a good bargain for dog treats, there are many places from which you can purchase products in both Toowoomba and Brisbane!

    Firstly, and perhaps most obviously, dog treats can be purchased at their store on weekdays, at 185 Ruthven St in North Toowoomba, where the treats are made.



    Secondly, holds a stall at the Davies Park Market in West End every Saturday morning, which is great news for Brisbane customers who don't want to make a trip out to Toowoomba each time they need to stock up on treats. If you're not a morning person, OZ DOGS is a stockist for - they hold a stall at [LINK=https://www.eatstreetmarkets.com/
    ]Eat Street Markets[/LINK] (dog-friendly) every Friday and Saturday night.



    Finally, there is a huge number of stockists from which you can purchase 's products, both online (e.g. Budget Pet Products ) and in person (e.g. The Pooch Palace ).
    What are you waiting for - head on down to for some good Aussie tucker that your furry best mate will love!
