Are your pets wild? So are our Snack21 pet treats!

Cats and dogs love fish and we love Snack21 Pet treats!

All Snack21 treats are made from WILD caught Pacific fish; the one and only ingredient on their ingredients list. That’s right, Snack21 pet treats are SINGLE INGREDIENT treats meaning they are low calorie and high protein.

Through natural drying methods, Snack21 is able to produce treats for our favorite pets that contain no preservatives, additives, dyes or flavoring while maintaining all of the naturally occurring proteins, vitamins and minerals. Your pets will love Snack21’s unique and healthy line of quality pet treats.

Snack21 has been making high quality pet treats fished off the shores of beautiful British Columbia since 1996.

Why is WILD Salmon so important? Nutrition!

Farm raised salmon do not migrate from fresh water rivers to the ocean and back again. That means they are fat! However the proportion of beneficial Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in farm raised salmon is much lower. Also wild salmon are not treated with antibiotics, fed gluten enhanced feeds or exposed to pesticides like farm raised fish may be.

The next time you are in the store take a look at the salmon. Most wild salmon has naturally occurring carotenoids such as astaxanthin which results from the fish eating a diet of microalgae. This microalgae is used to produce DHA for human infant formula and it naturally provides a bright orange color to the fish meat. Farm raised salmon are fed a synthetic pigment to turn the meat pink. Don’t be misled with terms such as “real,” “flavored,” “Norwegian” or “Atlantic” salmon, if it doesn’t say “WILD” it probably isn’t.

All Snack21 treats undergo an extensive quality control process from the cutting of the fish to the packaging of product to ensure quality, consistency and traceability. The Snack21 trademark represents unique and quality treats on the leading edge of the “Natural & Healthy” wave of pet products.
