To date, this brand of vegan dog food is not available in Australia but others are. 

 

There are so many treat choices for dogs and cats these days that it is hard for pet owners to know what is best.

While we will go into the benefits of our treats in another article, we want to bring to your attention the risks of raw hide treats. They are not only dangerous, they are deadly.
Watch this video which is a comical way to get across a serious message. Have a look at how raw hide is made. Remember, if you wouldn't eat it, your pet won't either.

One of the first light bulb moments I had was when I heard Dr Karen Becker’s Ted Talk about the evolution of dogs in our life. It kicked off my journey into researching
what feeding raw really meant.

Why do veterinarians
recommend kibble? What’s wrong with fresh food?

At Bow Tie Pets we are going to start a series of articles that pose these questions and

They survived by eating real food that they either caught
themselves through hunting or were given by humans.

Ask Yourself Why are dogs and cats now suffering from
diseases such as diabetes, cancer and digestive issues that are usually
attributed to humans?

Because after thousands of years of thriving on a species
appropriate diet, we have started feeding them a highly processed diet that has
little nutritional value, but high financial reward for the manufactures.
