Why Bison Chews, Treats & Bones are so Great, Yet So Darn Hard to Find!

As many of you know, GREAT DOG CO. is one of the very few companies in the United States that sells Bison Chews, Treats and Bones. Why? Two reasons:

1. The number of Bison raised in the United States each year is quite low; and

2. GREAT DOG CO. has been in the business so long that it has the vast majority of the raw product under contract.

What Makes GREAT DOG Bison Chews & Treats so Great?

GREAT DOG bison chews & treats are NOT an amalgum of indecipherable GMO ingredients from far off lands full of  starches, glues, salts or preservatives.  Rather the bison are range-fed, not given hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. GREAT DOG bison chews and treats are cooked in a human-grade facility and come out of our ovens bathed in their own yummy juices giving them a beautiful golden brown color as opposed to many companies that add a colorant to produce the same color. GREAT DOG bison chews and treats do not contain preservatives, emulsifiers, salts, smokes, mixed tocopherols and other adulterants. As a result, dogs can taste the difference. Many of you have already experienced this--your dog goes crazy over our chews because without all these nasty ingredients, the taste is pure bison joy! 

Added Benefits of Bison Chews & Treats?

1. Bison have a much lower percentage of body fat than cattle making the resulting chew lower in fat

2. Because bison are range-fed, not given hormones and unnecessary antibiotics, and GREAT DOG doesn't add anything to the product, none of these nasty things are passed onto your beloved dog

3. As a result, dogs with sensitive stomachs and/or allergies are able to tolerate bison much more easily than other animal based chews & treats

GREAT DOG Bison Bones:

GREAT DOG Bison Bones come from free-range bison from Wisconsin, North Dakota and Colorado. To cook our Bison Bones we use a decades old, proprietary cooking formula, and never use preservatives, smokes or soaks. The bones are cooked in their own natural juices resulting in the finished product being a natural brown color whereas many other companies selling bones can only obtain the brown color through added colorants. Because of the cooking process we use, our bones are much easier on a dog's digestive track and are much less likely to shard than other bones on the market. Finally, our bones are loaded with marrow, fat tailings and meaty bits. Why? Because that's what dogs love. Do you know any dog who wants to chew on a white, steralized bone or cow hide in the form of a a rawhide bone when they could be gnawing on a bone full of flavor, marrow, fat tailings and meaty bits? We don't either!
