Last updated
Start here if you want to know what you are buying. Our treat is wild-caught salmon and nothing else, freeze-dried in small batches and shipped from Malvern, Pennsylvania in a 1.5 ounce pouch. These posts read the pouch closely: what wild-caught means, what single ingredient means, the guaranteed analysis line by line, the texture, the smell, storing an open pouch, and how treats differ from freeze-dried salmon sold as food.
