Dog Treat Review: Nature Nosh Scores Big with Treat Review Team

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

The results are in and our Treat Review Team has sent 2 Paws Up for Nature Nosh's USDA Organic treats. We especially enjoyed that they were not your typical, chicken, liver and beef flavors. After all, our pups deserve a little variety, even though we may know too much variety isn't good for our fido's tummies.

While Beef Liver "Wellington" was certainly a hit, the Chicken Liver Parmesan made my boys' eyes light up, and Pumpkin Pie was certain to pair well with Thanksgiving's Best for a November special-occasion treat. Wow! I could have noshed on the Pumpkin Pie flavored treats; they smelled delish.

One interesting point is the availability of USDA Organic liver. It's tough to source and Nature Nosh is proud to be one of few that are able to sport this USDA Organic logo on a liver-based treat that is made in the U.S. That's a lot of safe, healthy ingredients built right in for your Fido.

One additional perk that appealed to me was that despite there being no artificial preservatives, the product has a great shelf life, prompted by the addition of mixed Tocopherols (a form of vitamin E often used as a healthy preservative in natural foods). I loved seeing the expiration date on each bag and knowing that my pups had a long, long time to finish them if needed.

And guess what is NOT in them?

X pesticides
X growth hormones
X artificial colors or flavors
X synthetic preservatives
X corn, wheat, egg or soy
X fillers
X antibiotics

Sounds good, huh? I love that there is nothing lurking in these yummies to leave toxins in my best furry friends. And apparently, the dogs sensed this too. There were no hesitant looks or reluctant munchers. It was chow down--across the board.

When I brought the bags out to let Tanner and Oliver take a whiff, I immediately had 2 eager photo models. I've got them trained now. When they see the camera and a product come out, it's definitely time to behave and practice their "Stay". It's a clear signal that they'll be getting some rewards for good behavior and these treats were major motivation.

I had a little fun tantalizing them with a Nature-Nosh pyramid in front of them for a picture. I'm sure they were saying to themselves, "Hold your stay. Just a few more minutes and I'll get to eat them!" And eat them they did.

Would your dog like to try some Nature Nosh Treats? Who wouldn't want to offer their pup an ultra-premium, certified organic treat. No wheat, no corn, no soy, no toxins. Just wholesome ingredients.
