Review: Wagatha's Dog Biscuits
When have a cannister by our back deck door filled with a variety of dog biscu
its, all holistic, organic or otherwise healthy offerings. Eli knows that as soon as he comes in the door, there’s a treat waiting for him. When Eli and I saw a box of Wagathas Organic Dog Biscuits arrive, we were all ears (and one of us, all wagging tail). Wagathas, a Vermont-based company, was established in 2006, as the brainchild between two guys - a chef and a former Wall Streeter. Their product line features only human grade ingredients, is all organic, and certified kosher. They have quite a wide selection available, from Cranberry Cheddar Biscuits and Tomato Herb Biscuits to even senior biscuits for the elder pup in your life. So what did Eli think?
The GOOD: Featuring all organic and human grade ingredients, these are treats you can feel good about giving your pet. I love the name, Wagatha, and the adorable containers contain fun pet quotes, letters from Wagatha and more.
The BAD: As of right now, you can only purchase the items online, so you’ll have to plan ahead. They are currently running a free shipping promotion on all orders over $50. There is a store locator on Wagatha's home page.
MONEY MATTERS: The 9 oz containers sell for $8.95 each, and discounts are available when you purchase more than three. You can browse their biscuits, accessories and other items right here.
The MOM VERDICT
Cate says: I love a company like this. One that comes together from pure passion and friendship, without such a keen eye on selling what will deliver the biggest buck on the bottom line. It’s a company with a sense of humor and a solid product, which is a winning combination. Now obviously I didn’t taste these myself (as if!), but I can tell you what Eli thought. Granted, he doesn’t have the most discerning palate, but he definitely liked these. When I first held one out to him, he stopped and sniffed, so it must smell a bit different than his usual fare. Then he dug in. And came right back for more. I was wondering if the unusual flavors (Cranberry Cheddar with a hint of Mint) would deter him, but it didn’t slow him down in the least, and he’s made his way through a variety of flavors now. Two furry paws up from this camp!
