I suppose I should be embarrassed to admit this, but Wagatha’s dog treats smell so good that I had the urge to eat them myself (especially the Organic Wheat Free Tuscan Tomato & Herb variety). I made my girlfriend sniff the tin. She first looked at me like I was crazy, but then she got it - these treats really do smell amazingly fresh and delicious. Like “real food” - that’s because they are “real food”. Reef and Lucian agreed with our sniff test. I took some of the cookies they often get (high quality stuff) and offered them a cookie in one hand and a “Wagatha” in the other - the Wagatha’s won out. I tried this with each flavor. (Though the Tuscan Tomato did seem to be a favorite, based on the drool factor alone!). The Wagatha’s won hands down.
Now down to the important stuff - Wagatha’s are made in Vermont, are 100% USDA Certified Organic, use 100% Human Grade Ingredients and are Kosher! Yes, Kosher. It’s very hard to find Kosher dog food/treats - just ask anyone who has looked. The company uses easier to digest grains such as whole spelt flour, oats, barley, and brown rice flour. They also include high quality, nutritious ingredients such as flax seed and Sunflower oil as well as eggs and honey. The biscuits are all gluten free as well.
Wagatha’s come in 8 oz. canister shaped tins that are pleasing to the eye. They’re not one of those treats you’ll want to put away in a jar.
I’m thrilled to have discovered Wagatha’s - They’re going to be a staple at our house in the future. They get my “extremely picky about what I feed my dogs” seal of approval!
