Shameless Pets Bacon It Easy Crunchy Bites Dogs Treats (12 oz)

Oven-Baked Biscuits with Real Bacon, Peanut Butter, and Upcycled Apple Pomace

Product Description

Shameless Pets Bacon It Easy Crunchy Bites are oven-baked biscuits made with a limited, natural ingredient list built on real bacon, peanut butter, and upcycled apple pomace, paired with upcycled sweet potato for digestive fiber support. Free from corn, soy, and artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, these treats are crafted in small batches sustainably in the USA. Both the sweet potato and apple pomace are upcycled to reduce food waste.

Benefits

• Real Bacon for Irresistible Flavor: Bacon is a named protein ingredient included in the recipe, delivering a rich, savory flavor.
• Upcycled Apple Pomace for Fiber: Apple pomace is the fiber-rich by-product of apple juice production, upcycled and included to add natural dietary fiber.
• Peanut Butter for Palatability: Peanut butter adds a rich, nutty flavor that complements the bacon and makes these biscuits consistently appealing even to picky eaters.
• Upcycled Sweet Potato for Digestion: Sweet potatoes rescued from farms contribute natural fiber for digestive support.
• Two Upcycled Ingredients Per Bag: Both apple pomace and sweet potato are upcycled from food production and farm rescue, meaning this bag keeps two types of surplus ingredients from going to agricultural waste.
• Limited Natural Ingredients: A short, clean ingredient list with no colors, fillers, artificial flavors, or preservatives means every biscuit contains only ingredients you can identify and recognize.

How to Use

Recommended-Dosage Chart

Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health.

Directions for Use    

• Feed alongside regular food: These biscuits are for supplemental use only; always give alongside a complete and balanced primary diet, not as a meal replacement at any feeding.
• Break for smaller dogs: The crunchy biscuit can be broken by hand into smaller pieces for smaller breeds or for high-frequency training rewards during sessions.
• Keep to the 10% rule: Factor each biscuit into your dog's daily calorie total to avoid exceeding the recommended treat-to-meal calorie ratio for a balanced daily diet.
• Provide fresh water: Always keep fresh water available throughout the day, particularly for dogs that enjoy multiple crunchy biscuits across daily treat and training sessions. 

Additional Information

Precautions   

• Contains whole wheat: Whole wheat flour is the first ingredient; these biscuits are not grain-free and are not ideal for dogs with gluten intolerance or documented wheat sensitivity.
• Contains peanut butter: Shameless Pets uses xylitol-free peanut butter in their recipes; always verify the current label on the physical bag to confirm as formulations can change between production runs.
• Supplemental feeding only: These biscuits are not a complete and balanced food; always feed alongside a complete and balanced primary diet for your dog's life stage. 

Storage Instructions   

• Seal after each use: Roll or clip the bag shut after every session. Leaving it open lets air in and the crunchy biscuits can soften or go stale faster than expected.
• Cool and dry location: Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun and heat that can affect freshness and the crunchy biscuit texture over time.
• Do not refrigerate: Refrigeration is not required and may introduce condensation inside the bag, which can soften the crunchy biscuit texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Are these treats grain-free?

Ans: No. Whole wheat flour is the first ingredient in this recipe. These biscuits are not grain-free. They are free from corn and soy, but they do contain wheat. Dogs with gluten intolerance or a documented wheat sensitivity should not have these treats. Confirm with your veterinarian before introducing if wheat is a concern for your specific dog.

Q2: What is apple pomace and why is it in this recipe?

Ans: Apple pomace is the solid material left over after apples are pressed to produce apple juice or cider. It is rich in dietary fiber, including pectin, and would otherwise go to waste as a by-product of apple juice production. Including it in this recipe repurposes that waste into a functional fiber ingredient that supports gut motility and digestive health in dogs.

Q3: What are the two upcycled ingredients in this recipe?

Ans: Sweet potato and apple pomace are both marked as upcycled in the ingredient list. Sweet potatoes are rescued from farms, surplus or cosmetically imperfect produce that might otherwise be discarded. Apple pomace is the fiber-rich by-product of apple juice production.

Q4: Is the peanut butter in this recipe xylitol-free?

Ans: Shameless Pets uses xylitol-free peanut butter in their recipes. Xylitol is a sweetener that is harmful to dogs and is found in some commercial peanut butters. Always check the current ingredient list on the physical bag before giving to your dog.

Q5: Can these biscuits be broken apart for training?

Ans: Yes. The crunchy biscuit breaks by hand into smaller pieces for smaller breeds or high-frequency training sessions. Smaller pieces extend the bag further and keep individual treat sizes appropriate to the dog's size and daily calorie allowance.

Q6: Does real bacon appear as a named ingredient?

Ans: Yes. Bacon is listed as a named ingredient, not as a natural flavor or flavoring agent. It sits third in the ingredient list after whole wheat flour and sweet potato, meaning it is present in a meaningful quantity relative to the other ingredients.

Q7: Are these treats suitable for puppies and senior dogs?

Ans: Yes, for most dogs. Puppies and seniors can have these biscuits, though the crunchy texture is harder than soft treats. Dogs with dental sensitivity or reduced bite strength may do better with a softer format. For puppies, keep portions small and appropriate to their size and daily calorie budget.

Q8: Are these treats suitable for dogs with chicken sensitivities?

Ans: Yes. There is no chicken, chicken meal, chicken fat, or chicken by-products anywhere in this recipe. The protein source is bacon and peanut butter. Dogs that have developed sensitivities to chicken can typically have these biscuits without issue, though always confirm the full ingredient list matches your dog's specific dietary requirements.
