Where Treats Come From
I visited the Jones Natural Chews headquarters last week and the owner took me to see where treats come from. Prepare yourselves. This month we’ve talked about the Pumpers, which are pig hearts, and the Dino Bones, which are cow leg bones. This post is gently recycled, but oh! I had such a great time on this road trip! Back to the farm is certainly a lively lesson in where treats come from!
Pumpers
Let’s look at where the Pumpers come from. Pig hearts are a rich treat, great for dogs of all sizes, but meant to be consumed in small quantities by toy and small dogs.
A county fair is a wonder to behold. If there’s one happening near you, I urge you to go, since August is typically county fair month. The animals, the rides, the fair food, 4H for the kids – it’s an experience. I believe it’s good to know where our food comes from, how it’s handled and raised, the care that goes into bringing it up. Jones doesn’t get their meat from county fairs, but it was interesting to see the animals up close and personal, their sheer size and smell. To know where the treats come from is to be an educated consumer.
Dino Bones
Dino Bones are cow leg bones. These are great for medium to large dogs for gnawing and dental health. Jones leaves the meaty bits on the bones, which makes a lot of dogs salivate. Mmmm! As always, monitor your dog’s chewing habits. And where do we find the Dino Bones?
I get asked where treats come from. Why, they come from real animals, like cows and pigs. They all come from American animals and farms. One hundred percent of Jones ingredients are from USA farms, always. And 100% of Jones ingredients are all natural, meaning NO artificial ingredients. If you were wondering where treats come from, now you know.
County Fair
We enjoyed our time at the Boone County fair. Fred and Bessie renewed their vows. We like to believe that the cows are married before they make little cows.
We know that Jones livestock are well fed. Um, I’m not so sure about Fred and Bessie, though.
A good time was had by all. And much junk food was had by all. My favorite is always the funnel cake.
