Health Benefits of Maks'Patch Veggie Dog Treats

1. GLUTEN FREE 
Gluten is a protein that helps bind food together. Gluten free applies specifically to three grains; wheat, barley and rye. Because Maks’Patch Dog Treats are Grain Free we are also Gluten Free.
Intolerance to gluten and grains is rare in dogs. However, if they do suffer, they will find it hard to absorb nutrients in their small intestine, leading to various health issues.

2. LOW IN FAT 
Less than 10% fat is considered a low fat diet for a dog. Maks'Patch Dog Treats have no more than 2.5% Fat. Perfect for avoiding weight gain or fat-related conditions like pancreatitis.

3. LIGHT IN PROTEIN
Too much protein can be bad for dogs, leading to kidney disease & weight gain. Dogs are usually getting enough protein in their daily meals, Maks’Patch being light in protein makes them suitable for dogs with ongoing kidney issues and weight gain.
Below is a testimonial highlighting a common issue.

"Our dog Oscar (he is two),  has a chronic illness that means he cannot metabolise protein. When a friend told me about your treats and doing some research into them. I just could not believe how low the protein levels were and for the first time since he was 10 weeks old we can give him a dog treat that actually resembles a dog treat! He LOVES them"

4. NO ADDED SUGAR
All of our treats have no added sugar. Added sugar is a certain recipe for weight gain, tooth decay and the onset of diabetes, among other health issues and best avoided. For that sweetness that dogs love in our treats you will notice a small % of coconut oil or real peanut butter.


5. REDUCE PLAQUE
Dental chews are an important addition to your pet's oral care routine. Maks'Patch chews, with ridges and bumps, help reduce plaque and tartar by reaching the gum line. For example, our Croc Bites are formulated with green tea extract and fennel, and their textured surface massages the gums, boosting blood flow and promoting overall mouth health.

6. HYPO-ALLERGENIC
A Hypoallergenic dog treat is a recipe formulated without common allergens such as wheat, gluten, dairy and soya.
Because Maks’Patch treats are made from natural ingredients there isn’t anything unnatural to irritate your dog.

"Just wanted to say that your treats are my dogs favourite treats, ever, and they are a total godsend for me, as he's allergic to EVERYTHING! Wheat, soya, cows milk, all meat, all fish.......(And that’s before I get into all the environmental allergies, too)"



We use Sweet Potato!
We are often asked, why are Maks' Patch Treats are made with Sweet Potato and not just say Potato?

The reason is that sweet potatoes are not only great for your dogs digestive system because of their high dietary fibre content but they are also low in fat and contain many essential vitamins such as B6, C and A

But what does it mean for my dog to be getting these vitamins?

Vitamin C is an important Antioxidant. It helps reduce inflammation and cognitive ageing. Vitamin B6 is vital for any dog, this is responsible for Glucose Generation, Red Blood Cell and Nervous System Function, Hormone Regulation, Immune Response, Niacin Synthesis and Gene Activation....Basically this is all very important for any dog!

Vitamin A is found not only in Sweet Potato but also in Carrots, it is responsible for good vision, growth, fetal development, immune function and cell function.
