Wagatha's Gourmet Organic Treats

Cranberry Cheddar with a hint of mint...Tuscan Tomato and Herb...Breakfast biscuits... They sound yummy don't they? Can you believe these are DOG treats! Gourmet organic treats to be exact from a company called Wagatha's.

Wagatha's biscuits are made from healthy ingredients. They are 100% USDA Certified Organic
100% Human Grade Ingredients, certified Kosher, Baked and they use Virgin Oil Oil from Italy and Spain. The biscuits are made from whole wheat flour, easily digestible grains, extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, brown flax seed, eggs, non-dairy milk, garlic, honey and sea salt. Basically YOU could eat these biscuits too, although I think they might be a wee bit hard and dry for us humans to enjoy.

It goes without saying that Wagatha's puts a lot of heart into their biscuits. They care about what goes into your beloved four legged friend therefore they use only the best ingredients for their biscuits. They even have special biscuits to fulfill the needs of senior dogs and a "Super" biscuit that is jam packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

So how do they taste? Well I didn't actually taste them myself (although they sound so good I was tempted to nosh on one... hee hee). Our dogEspn is not always big on treats. He likes those "leather" type dog treats. He'll eat biscuits when he's in the mood. I'm NOT exaggerating when I say that my dog practically attacked me after he tried his first one. Not in a bad way, I just mean he was jumping all over me. He practically jumped in my lap! Now just the MENTION of the "cookie" (that's what we call it) excites him. Our Wagatha's biscuits are in small zip lock bags. All I need to do is shake one of the bags and he comes running. And he INHALES the biscuit too! WOW! I wonder if he even knows what he's eating.

The Wagatha's treats are the perfect size too. My dog is about 20 pounds. He's on the small/medium size range and these are PERFECT for him. These might be a wee bit small for large/huge dogs, but none the less, they are just as yummy. You might just have to give a larger dog 2-3 treats instead of one. Since these are HEALTHY dog treats you can feel at ease giving your dog more then one.

Wagatha's sells their biscuits in either 9 ounce round tins or 10 pound boxes. They are available online at www.Wagathas.com. You can even purchase the Fetchstix that I reviewed earlier on Wagatha's web site too (click here for the Fetchstix review).

Wagatha’s Organic Dog Biscuits

2009 JUNE 23

by Kimberly ~ greenWell

If you’ve ever read the ingredient listing on your dog’s traditional pet food or dog biscuits packaging, it was probably enough to instantly convert you to switching over to organic foods and treats. The disgusting additives and questionable “food” products make you wonder how our four-legged friends ever manage to get the food down. Perhaps that’s why they eat so fast…so they don’t have to taste it!

To the rescue comes Wagatha’s Organic Dog Biscuits, a Vermont-based company that has been creating wholesome, organic treats for dogs since 2006. With a chef as one of the founding partners, you know that these gourmet dog treats made with human grade ingredients should be good. But the real test is what the dog’s think.

Sydney is used to wolfing down her treats, whether conventional or homemade. But when I fed her a Wagatha’s Cranberry Cheddar Biscuit with a Hint of Mint, she actually paused and stopped to sniff the organic dog biscuit. Thinking this wasn’t a good sign, I was slightly apprehensive. But then a miracle happened. A miracle that only a dog owner could appreciate. Sydney actually politely took the treat, almost seemed to be savoring the flavors as it was in her mouth, and rather calmly ate and enjoyed it.

It’s as if Sydney actually was thankful for a dog biscuit that tasted good with an unusual melding of flavors that seems to work for dogs. She continues to enjoy Wagatha’s Organic Dog Biscuits, stopping just a little longer to savor the flavor, which is about the highest recommendation that a dog can give. Kudos to you, Wagatha’s!
