The Truth About Some Pet Treats (and What’s Actually Safe to Give Your Dog)

The Truth About Some Pet Treats (and What’s Actually Safe to Give Your Dog)

Halloween is a time for costumes, candy, and lots of fun! But when it comes to your dog’s treats, we believe it shouldn’t be a trick. At Collagenie, we’re all about transparency and quality. Your dog’s treats shouldn’t come with hidden additives, questionable preservatives, or anything you wouldn’t proudly put in their bowl. That’s why our certified organic hydrolysed collagen is made with zero nasties and full transparency.

We’re serious about quality! From how our products are made to what goes in them. Your furry friend gets only clean, functional ingredients their body can actually use.

What’s Really Hiding in Your Pet’s Snacks?

When you pick up a pack of treats, the front might promise tail-wagging flavours, glowing health, or extra shine. But the real story? It’s usually on the back of the packet.

Many mass-produced treats use artificial preservatives to stay shelf-stable for months, sometimes even years. While convenient, these preservatives may not always be kind to your dog’s long-term health.

Ingredients to Watch Out For 

At Collagenie, we prioritize your pet’s well-being. One group of additives to be aware of includes BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) and BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene). These synthetic antioxidants help keep fats and oils fresh in treats and foods. They’re approved for use in both pet and human foods within regulated limits.

While some animal studies have raised questions about their long-term effects, there’s no conclusive evidence of harm in dogs. Still, many pet owners, including us at Collagenie like to take a cautious approach when it comes to our pets’ health. That’s why we avoid ingredients we can’t easily pronounce, keeping things simple, natural, and safe whenever possible.

The Simple Rule: If You Can’t Pronounce It, Put It Back

A handy rule when choosing treats? If you can’t pronounce an ingredient, it’s probably best left on the shelf. Instead, look for treats with natural colours and simple, short ingredient lists. The fewer ingredients, the better!

Consider Better Alternatives

Homemade treats or those with a straightforward ingredient list are great options. At Collagenie, our meal boosters and treats are transparent with their active ingredients you can pronounce, coming in pure organic forms you can trust and are so delicious for your pet. Our meal boosters are super easy to make into a simple treat with our Halloween biscuit recipe or make into a paste, frozen treat and even used on a licky matt for extra enrichment.

When it comes to your dog’s snacks, let’s keep the treats fun and the ingredients honest. Because your furry friend deserves nothing less.

 

The Spooky Truth About Treats: How Collagenie’s Organic Hydrolysed Peptides Are Different

This Halloween, while you’re sorting through candy and treats, it’s a great time to think about what’s lurking in your pet’s treats too!

At Collagenie, we take pride in how we extract our organic collagen peptides, no tricks, just treats. Unlike some scary rawhide treats that come from the inner layers of animal hides and can be treated with harsh chemicals like bleach during processing, our collagen is made with a 100% organic extraction process and absolutely no nasty chemicals.

Being certified organic means what you see is exactly what you get: pure, clean collagen peptides with no spooky additives. Because when it comes to your furry friend’s health, we believe how a product is made is just as important as what’s inside.

So this Halloween, while you’re enjoying all the costumes and candy, remember that your pup deserves treats that are crafted with care and made to help them stay happy and healthy……no tricks involved!
