Boulder Dog Food Company Chicken Bits
Chicken Bits are made from human grade, USDA approved chicken and a pinch of mixed tocopherols (an organic preservative) to increase shelf life. These high protein treats are slow oven roasted to bring out the flavor while reducing the moisture to less than 10%. Our cage-free chickens are humanely raised in the United States on a high quality vegetarian diet. They remain cage-free throughout their lives and mature naturally with no added hormones, steroids or antibiotics. INFORMATION ABOUT FOOD ALLERGIES: Dogs can develop allergies to food just like people. The immune system triggers a negative response, usually to a protein in their regular diet. The most common offenders are the most common ingredients in dog food, namely beef, dairy, chicken, lamb, eggs, corn, wheat and soy. According to most veterinarians, a food allergy typically occurs when the animal has been on the same diet for an extended period. Early signs of allergic reactions may include severe itching, accompanied by what appears to be a skin rash, hair loss, chronic ear infections, diarrhea or vomiting. In the process of trying to diagnose the food allergy, most veterinarians recommend an elimination diet while switching to a novel protein source. Treats from BOULDER DOG FOOD COMPANY LLC can help in the transition to a new diet since we specialize in products that are 100% pure meat or 100% pure fish. FOOD INTOLERANCES: Many dog treats contain large amounts of cereal grains, the most common being corn, wheat, barley, and rice. Not only are these grains a frequent source of allergies, there may also be a correlation with food intolerances since canines lack sufficient enzymes to easily digest these high carbohydrate grains.
