Pumpers Really Are Pig Hearts
At least, I think they are. With a name like Pumpers, in the Pork section of Jones Natural Chews site, they’d have to be pig hearts, wouldn’t they? Take a look at the site’s description of the product and you tell me:
Being whole-heartedly and naturally baked is the way into any dog’s heart. Our special muscle can make any canine’s pumper start to race with just one bite of this tasty treat. Great dog treat for all size dogs.
Yes? Pig hearts? I think so. Naturally baked and delicious for dogs.

Which Dogs Can Have a Punper?
The beauty of the Pumpers is that they’re suitable for dogs of all sizes. Like the Pig Ears, these tasty treats can be snipped into smaller bites (kitchen shears work great) for wee tiny dogs, or given whole to larger dogs.
Why would you want to snip pieces for a small dog, you ask? Small dogs, like small children, should be given treats in moderation and according to their size. Children, fed too many treats and not enough healthy food, grow sickly, developing skin issues, diabetes, etc. Small dogs, given too may treats and not enough healthy food, develop skin issues, health issues, things like pancreas issues and obesity. Cesar Milan has a great info page on dogs and foods.
Flash eats his treats from Jones in moderation. He eats chicken and duck poo with abandon, unfortunately. The next, natural question is, “Why Jones?” So many ways to answer this question.
Why Jones Natural Chews?
Jones is a family run business with 150+ years of experience in the meat business. I’m not talking accumulated years (Laura has done this for 25, Joe for 15, etc.). I’m talking they’ve been handling meat almost since the Civil War. For more than 25 years Jones has been producing all natural, made in the USA, high quality dog chews.
Made in the USA is not something Jones takes lightly. From start to finish, meat to production, every chew is grown and baked right here in the United States of America.
Not only is every treat made in the USA, every treat is all natural. This means that there are no artificial ingredients. Ever.
Meat. Lots of meat. Jones knows meat, people. And dogs know meat. You won’t find any fancy dog crackers in the Jones Natural Chews, nothing made with wheat flour or seeds. Everything is pretty much meat, which REALLY makes dogs smile. The handful of ingredients which aren’t meat are all natural, and the only flour Jones uses is rye flour, for treats like taffy.
Jones bones, for those of you who give your dogs bones, are slow baked and temperature controlled in a special process designed to ensure the best bone strength. All bones splinter, including raw ones, but Jones are the closest thing to raw that you will find, while still being baked. Tasty.
So the Pumpers? Delicious and quality, good for your dog. I’m betting a pet store near you will have them. And if you can’t find them locally, I know that Natural Dog Treat Shop will have them, so the Pumpers are as close as the click of a button!
