GAD ZUKE’S!
By Katie Hammond
“We love our pets and want what’s best for them. After all, they’ve seen us naked and don’t judge us when we drink directly out of the milk carton.” This is Zuke’s mantra and I for one couldn’t agree more.
With summer fast approaching, everyone seems to be going into diet frenzy, but have we forgotten that our beloved pets like a seasonally shiny summer mane too? Thanks to Zuke’s all natural dog treats, you can feel good about indulging the pooch in a healthy way.
I love spreading the love about brands that have an inspirational story behind the products. When I came across Zuke’s in my local dog store I was so excited to share the news. The Zuke’s brand came about one morning in 1995 while Patrick Meiering (Founder & CEO) was on a hike with his dog Zuke. Patrick noticed Zuke became fatigued and decided to give Zuke some of his power bar. It is safe to say that Patrick then had his light bulb moment on top of a mountain when Zuke immediately perked up. He realized that pets need healthy, all natural treats just as much as people do.
Thinking back to the Juicy-Juice commercial with the little girl trying to pronounce unrecognizable-fifteen-syllable-words in other Juices is the total antithesis of Zuke’s. All products are made with natural ingredients and include only USDA beef and poultry, New Zealand lamb, premium grains, fruits, vegetables and natural oils. None of Zuke’s products have animal by-products, additives or dyes.

Zuke’s mini naturals are perfect for small (and not-so obedient) dogs. I use them for training or for a quick distraction while Tucker is trying to attack the neighbor or delivery man. Each treat only has two calories and comes in peanut butter, salmon, and chicken.
If you have an older dog and are looking for nutritious and wholesome treats that will do their little body good then Zuke’s Hip Action is for you. Each treat has 300 mg of Glucosamine and 50 mg of Chondroitin so your pup will feel their best. Zuke’s also donates a portion of their annual processed to the dog and cat cancer fund.
In a time where recalled products are becoming the norm, it is imperative to pay close attention to the products we purchase for our pets. Zuke’s treats is the perfect brand as they are made in the USA, completely natural- which means there is no risk in the product getting recalled. Plus, how can you ignore a company that donates proceeds to animals with cancer?
