Gourmet Dog Biscuits Charcoal & Oatmeal Dog Treat
Bare Bones Score: 🦴 🦴 (2/5 BONES)
The Verdict: THE BUDGET BAKERY REWARD. This baked biscuit provides a highly accessible, crunchy approach to rewarding, utilizing heavy grains alongside activated charcoal for a budget-friendly, functional snack.
The Good: It incorporates functional charcoal and soothing oatmeal to provide a gentle reward that aims to balance digestion and naturally reduce gas for our companions.
The Reality: Because this is a traditional bakery-style biscuit, it leans incredibly heavy on cheap, processed carbohydrates starting at the absolute top of the panel (wheat flour and whole wheat flour) to bind it together.
Ingredients:
(By law, pet food ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight before processing. These top five items dictate whether the reward will truly nourish your pet, or just fill them up with heavy binders!)
Wheat Flour: A highly processed, dense carbohydrate used as the primary structural binder.
Oatmeal: A wholesome, gentle whole-food grain that provides soothing digestive fiber.
Whole Wheat Flour: A second heavily processed grain used to hold the biscuit's shape.
Canola Oil: A plant-based fat source used for baking.
Egg: A highly bioavailable protein source that adds a small boost of amino acids.
Melody's Take:
This is a budget-friendly option for Pet Parents who want to offer a functional crunch that helps balance their companion's digestion! While it does include the wonderful addition of gas-reducing charcoal and soothing oatmeal, the intense reliance on simple wheat flours pushes this snack far into the heavy-carbohydrate category. As mindful stewards, we have to consider if feeding a reward made almost entirely of wheat flour will beautifully support their daily diet. It is a reasonable, occasional snack for dogs that handle wheat without a problem, but companions with sensitivities should absolutely look for a meat-denser reward!
