Wagatha’s Organic Dog Biscuits

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!
