FREEZE DRIED FROG LEGS:

Quantity: 1 set per package

SINGLE INGREDIENT • FREEZE-DRIED IN SMALL BATCHES

All-natural single-ingredient treats made from freeze-dried frog legs.

Freeze-dried frog legs are a unique, nutrient-rich treat that offers several health benefits for cats and dogs. Here’s why they can be a great addition to your pet's diet:

1. High-Quality Protein

- Frog legs are a lean source of protein, essential for muscle development, repair, and overall vitality.

- They are especially beneficial for pets with sensitivities to common proteins like chicken or beef.

2. Low Fat Content

- Freeze-dried frog legs are low in fat, making them a healthy, low-calorie treat option for pets on weight management plans.

3. Rich in Essential Vitamins and Minerals

- Calcium and Phosphorus: Crucial for bone health, growth, and maintenance.

- Iron: Supports red blood cell production and energy levels.

- Vitamin A: Promotes eye health, immune function, and skin health.

4. Hypoallergenic Protein

- Frog legs are a novel protein, making them suitable for pets with food allergies or intolerances to more common protein sources.

- Great for use in elimination diets to identify allergens.

5. Joint and Mobility Support

- The natural collagen in frog legs supports joint health, cartilage repair, and skin elasticity.

- Beneficial for aging pets or those with arthritis.

6. Digestibility

- Frog legs are easily digestible, making them a great option for pets with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues.

- 7. Natural Prey Instinct Satisfaction

- For cats and dogs on raw or prey-model diets, freeze-dried frog legs mimic the textures and nutrients found in a natural diet, stimulating their natural hunting instincts.

Serving Tips:

- Serve plain as a treat or rehydrate for pets who prefer softer textures.

- Introduce slowly to avoid potential stomach upset.

- Ensure there are no sharp bone fragments (freeze-dried bones are typically safe as they crumble rather than splinter).

Caution:

- Always check with your veterinarian before introducing a novel protein, especially if your pet has known allergies or dietary restrictions.

- Moderation is important, as excessive amounts could lead to an upset stomach.

*Freeze-dried frog legs are a nutritious, hypoallergenic, and species-appropriate treat for both cats and dogs, providing essential nutrients and variety in their diet. They're particularly beneficial for pets with allergies, sensitivities, or on a natural diet!
