To the delight of dog lovers and their canine companions, Blue Dog Bakery has expanded their premium line of tail-wagging treats to include a delicious new assortment of all-natural biscuits. Blue Dog Bakery’s new MEATY Flavors Premium Natural Low Fat Dog Treats feature four enticing flavors, Grilled Steak, Roasted Chicken, Liver and Beef & Bacon. All four flavors come in an assortment of large and small animal shapes that demonstrate the fun nature of the Blue Dog Bakery brand.

The suggested retail price for a 16-ounce box of MEATY Flavors is $4.59.

The pedigree for Blue Dog Bakery’s biscuits is impressive, and therefore, drooling canine expectations are high. Several leading pet and food industry magazines have recognized Blue Dog Bakery for their commitment to using only low-fat and the highest quality human-grade bakery ingredients.

“Is there a dog that can resist all-natural steak, chicken, liver and beef and bacon treats?” asks company President Margot Kenly, whom founded Blue Dog Bakery after many years in the gourmet baking industry. “People consider dogs as family members and we are proud to offer their canine companions a healthier alternative and more nutritious part of a balanced diet,” adds Kenly.

There are no animal by-products, no preservatives or additives, no artificial flavors or colors in the biscuits – just healthy and nutritious ingredients such as: unbleached wheat flour, whole wheat flour, cane molasses, whey, oats, palm oil, oats, and non-fat milk. Different taste profiles which are derived from natural grilled steak, chicken, liver and beef and bacon flavors, ensure that dogs won’t get tired of them.

Blue Dog Bakery’s crunchy biscuits are easily digested for utmost safety and help maintain strong teeth and fresh breath. They are perfect for dogs of all sizes thanks to the assortment of large and small animal shapes.

Blue Dog Bakery’s new MEATY Flavors Premium Natural Dog Treats are sure to be a fast seller because they capitalize on two of the hottest trends in pet food – premium and all natural. According to Packaged Facts, total US retail sales of functional treats and pet supplements reached $1.2 billion in 2007 reflecting a compound growth rate of approximately 10% during the five-year period from 2003-2007. Dogs make up 38% of treat sales. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA) 2007-2008 National Pet Owners Survey, 90% of dog owners give their four-legged friends pet treats, compared to 10% for supplements.

Other pet market reports emphasize the growing demand for premium dog foods, especially those that address pet obesity. This is right up Blue Dog Bakery’s alley as their biscuits are low fat and use only the finest premium bakery ingredients. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention an estimated 43% of dogs in the US (32 million) are overweight or obese. Dog obesity is associated with increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and musculoskeletal dysfunction. “Treats reward and encourage good behavior and that is why a healthier low fat alternative is very important,” says Kenly.

LENDING A PAW TO ANIMALS IN NEED

Beyond offering a healthier, low-fat and natural alternative to mainstream dog treats, Blue Dog Bakery is also committed to lending a paw to animal welfare. Each year the company helps hundreds of animal rescue organizations across the country raise money to save abandoned dogs. “We have an automatic “yes” policy for any organization involved in animal rescue be it a large or small organization,” says Kenly. “Our customers thank us for helping out and feel good about buying our products because of it,” adds Kenly.

Concerned about chemical additives and animal by-products in other dog biscuits as well as the alarming increase in dog obesity, Margot Kenly left the gourmet food industry in 1998 to start Blue Dog Bakery. Their products can be fetched at hundreds of grocery, pet and natural food stores around the country.
