Air-Dried Lamb Ears
Lamb ears make an ideal snack to support dental health, encouraging chewing that may reduce plaque and tartar build-up while providing protein, fibre and collagen benefits. Their air-dry process locks in these vital nutrients for maximum nutritional benefit – and makes this treat an economical low-calorie alternative to more indulgent treats!
Lamb ears are an excellent natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin that help promote joint health, providing mental enrichment as a pleasant snack.
Like other raw meat products, lamb ears carry an increased risk of bacterial contamination and intestinal obstruction for dogs who try to gulp down large chunks or swallow the entire treat at once. To mitigate this risk, provide smaller treats in smaller chunks while adhering to good food hygiene practices – this includes washing hands before and after handling treats as well as disposing of chews that have become contaminated in bowls.
Western Cape Ostrich
Ostrich farmers in South Africa are an international business. Their feathers, meat and leather are sold all around the globe.
Traditional production models accounted for more than 80% of an ostrich’s value and was the main product offered for sale within its industry. Because of this, Klein Karoo Kooperasie (KKK), located in Oudtshoorn, was the only organization allowed to market ostrich products on behalf of producers.
Due to deregulation in the ostrich industry, many new producers entered the market expecting fast, easy and lucrative returns. Unfortunately, an oversupply of hides for established markets caused prices and profitability to decrease significantly; as a result it’s important that foreign diplomats become familiar with uniquely Western Cape products like ostrich meat and leather in order to facilitate market access and encourage exports.
Free-Roaming Novel Proteins
Novel proteins, also known as exotic or alternative meats, have become an increasingly popular component of pet food formulations. Sourced from animals that roam free and ethically harvested for harvesting purposes, these novel proteins provide sustainable protein sources with low calories and fat content to support weight management for pets.
Mendal asserts that eating foods containing novel proteins may help combat allergy symptoms like itchy skin or ear infections that result from an excess exposure to common proteins like chicken. Furthermore, these novel protein sources contain less fillers or ingredients which cause digestive issues.
Triandafellos of ROAM Pets notes that all proteins used for its 20-minute chews, marrow bones and occupy chews are free-range and do not contain antibiotics, GMOs or hormones – they’re even sourced using methods which protect natural ecosystems!
