Most of the dogs we know would much prefer biscuit crunching to number crunching but numbers are important if your pooch is a little portly or you’re simply interested in the nutritional content of your dog’s snack foods.

Fat has become a big issue for diet conscious humans and pet owners alike. Nutritional analysis of our biscuits indicates that both our Rye Crunch and Oatees fall into the very low fat category. A food containing 5% (or less) fat is considered low fat. Our Rye biscuits have 1.72% while our Oatees have 2.75%.

Our Peanut Butter and Barley Bites are higher in fat although their fat content is still low by comparison with many commercially produced pet snacks. The good news is that their fat content comes from vegetable not animal sources so their saturated (bad) fat content is low.

If you have a young dog or an active older dog you may be interested to know that both our Peanut Butter and Oatees have good protein content which is essential for developing and repairing body tissue.

We have spent a lot of time researching what ingredients are most widely tolerated by our canine friends. We have spoken at length to veterinary surgeons and pet nutritionists concerning common health problems that may have a dietary basis. This has informed the very careful choice of the flours, oils, herbs and cereals used in our biscuits.

Scallywags is committed to using the best human quality wholefood ingredients. We know that dog owners enjoy giving their pets treats and our mission was to develop a range of biscuits that all dogs, including those with special dietary needs, could eat. Our biscuits are pure and simple and we intend keeping them that way.
