The Maks’Patch journey starts with the humble sweet potato.
Our dog treats are made with sweet potatoes fortified with health boosting natural additives to create a range of ‘meat-free’ treats that are not only natural & delicious but also Hypoallergenic, Low in Fat, Gluten Free, Grain & Wheat Free, Sugar Free and sustainable for the planet.
The environmental impact of producing 1kg of dog treats varies significantly depending on the ingredients.
Producing beef requires substantial resources, including large amounts of land, water, and energy, and generates significant CO2 emissions. In comparison, sweet potatoes are far less resource-intensive. Harvesting sweet potatoes requires much less land, water, and energy, with a much lower carbon footprint. This stark difference highlights the sustainability benefits of using plant-based ingredients like sweet potatoes in our treats, which helps reduce the overall environmental impact while still providing a nutritious option for your pet.
