Oven-Baked Biscuits with Peanut Butter, Upcycled Banana, Greek Yogurt, and Turmeric 

Product Description

Shameless Pets Peanut Butter Split Crunchy Bites are oven-baked biscuits made with a limited, natural ingredient list centered on peanut butter, upcycled banana, and Greek yogurt, paired with upcycled sweet potato and turmeric. 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 banana are upcycled from farms to reduce food waste.

Benefits

• Upcycled Banana for Natural Sweetness and Fiber: Upcycled bananas rescued from farms add natural sweetness, potassium, and dietary fiber that contribute to gut comfort.
• Greek Yogurt for Gut Health: Greek yogurt is a natural source of beneficial bacteria and protein, adding gut-supportive probiotics and a creamy flavor dimension to the baked biscuit recipe.
• Upcycled Sweet Potato for Digestion: Sweet potatoes rescued from farms bring natural fiber that supports daily digestive health.
• Turmeric for Antioxidant Support: Turmeric is included as a functional botanical ingredient for its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Limited Natural Ingredients: A short ingredient list with no fillers, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives helps you know exactly what your dog is eating.

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.
• 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 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: While xylitol-free peanut butter is safe for dogs, confirm the peanut butter in this recipe is xylitol-free by checking the ingredient list on the physical label before giving to your dog.
• Turmeric note: Turmeric is included as a functional botanical; consult your veterinarian before introducing if your dog is on blood-thinning medications or has a diagnosed bleeding disorder.

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. Dogs with gluten intolerance or a documented wheat sensitivity should not have these treats. Check with your veterinarian before introducing if wheat is a concern for your dog.

Q2: What does "upcycled banana" mean?

Ans: The bananas in this recipe were rescued from farms, surplus or cosmetically imperfect fruit that would otherwise go to waste rather than reaching retail shelves. Repurposing them reduces agricultural food waste. They have the same nutritional value as conventionally sold bananas, including natural potassium, fiber, and natural sweetness.

Q3: Why is Greek yogurt in a dog treat?

Ans: Greek yogurt provides two things: a source of beneficial live cultures that support gut health, and a natural protein source that contributes to the overall protein content of the biscuit. Dogs generally tolerate small amounts of plain Greek yogurt well. The amount in a biscuit-sized serving is modest, but it contributes meaningfully to both the gut-friendly positioning and the flavor of the recipe.

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

Ans: Xylitol is a sweetener that is toxic to dogs and is found in some commercial peanut butter products. The ingredient list on the Peanut Butter Split label does not include xylitol, and 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.

Q5: What are the two upcycled ingredients in this recipe?

Ans: Sweet potato and banana are both marked with an asterisk as upcycled in the ingredient list. Both were rescued from farms, surplus or cosmetically imperfect produce that would otherwise go to agricultural waste.

Q6: Can these biscuits be broken apart for training?

Ans: Yes. The crunchy biscuit can be broken by hand into smaller pieces for high-frequency training rewards or for smaller breeds where a full-sized biscuit is too large. Breaking them extends the bag further during longer training sessions and keeps individual treat sizes appropriate to the dog's size and calorie allowance.

Q7: Why does this recipe include turmeric?

Ans: Turmeric is included as a functional botanical for its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has curcumin, the active compound responsible for these properties. At the level included in a treat serving, it contributes functional support without dominating the flavor.

Q8: 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, so 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.
