Plato Pet Treats Santa's Cookies Lamb & Goat Milk Jerky Dog Treats, 4-oz

Chewy Lamb and Goat Milk Holiday Jerky Bites 

Product Description

Plato Santa's Cookies are chewy jerky bites made with lamb as the first ingredient and Grade A goat milk to support healthy digestion, air-dried in Plato's family-owned facility in Fresno, California. The limited ingredient recipe contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial additives and is naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, organic apple cider vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Each 4 oz bag delivers 17 kcal per treat, making them a manageable holiday bite for dogs of different sizes.

Benefits

• Lamb as the First Ingredient: Lamb is the first and main protein in this recipe. It's also a less common protein than chicken or beef, which can work better for dogs.
• Goat Milk Supports Digestion: Goat milk is included to support healthy digestion, not just for flavor. It's generally easier for dogs to digest than cow's milk.
• No Corn, Wheat, or Soy: This recipe skips the most common grain fillers and allergens entirely, keeping the ingredient list clean and straightforward for ingredient-conscious dog owners.
• No Artificial Additives: The recipe contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives; natural preservation comes from mixed tocopherols, organic apple cider vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract.
• Lower Calorie per Bite: At 17 kcal per treat, these jerky bites are a more manageable holiday reward compared to higher-calorie per-piece treats.

How to Use

Directions for Use    

• Break for training use: These chewy jerky bites cut or break apart easily; portion into smaller pieces for high-frequency training rewards or for small breeds.
• Give as a holiday reward: Offer as a seasonal treat alongside your dog's regular balanced diet; these bites are not intended to replace a complete meal.
• Use for all dog sizes: The lower per-bite calorie count and soft chewy texture make these practical for small and large dogs alike without the size and calorie concerns.

Additional Information

Precautions  

• Not a complete meal: These treats are a holiday snack and should not replace your dog's regular balanced diet; use them in moderation alongside normal feeding.
• Check for lamb sensitivities: Lamb is the primary protein source; if your dog has a known sensitivity to lamb or any other ingredient in this recipe, check with your veterinarian before use.
• Check for dairy sensitivities: This recipe contains goat milk; if your dog has a known dairy sensitivity, introduce a small amount first and watch for any reaction before giving them regularly.

Storage Information 

• Cool and dark place: Store the bag in a cool, dark place, out of extreme heat or direct sunlight between uses.
• Reseal after each use: Close the bag securely after every session to limit air exposure and keep the remaining bites fresh.
• Use by best-by date: A best-by date is printed on the back of each bag; Plato stands behind the quality of the treat through this date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in these holiday jerky bites?

Ans: The full ingredient list is lamb, lamb meal, flaxseed, coconut glycerin, tapioca starch, goat milk, salt, mixed tocopherols, organic apple cider vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Eleven ingredients total, with lamb as the first and primary ingredient throughout.

Q2: Why is goat milk included in this recipe?

Ans: Goat milk is included to support healthy digestion. It is a Grade A dairy ingredient that is generally simpler for dogs to digest than cow's milk, and Plato includes it specifically for its digestive benefit.

Q3: Are these treats grain-free?

Ans: Yes. This recipe contains no grains at all. The base uses tapioca starch instead, making these jerky bites grain-free and free of corn, wheat, and soy across the full ingredient list.

Q4: How many calories are in each bite?

Ans: Each jerky bite contains 17 kcal. The bag comes in at 3,400 kcal/kg (ME calculated). At 17 kcal per bite, these are a lower-calorie per-piece option compared to stick-format treats, making it easier to give several during a training session.

Q5: Can I refrigerate these treats after opening?

Ans: No. It is specifically advised not to refrigerate these treats once opened. The natural ingredients cause condensation when stored in the fridge, and that moisture can lead to mold forming on the bites. Store them in a cool, dark place at room temperature instead.

Q6: Are these treats naturally preserved?

Ans: Yes. The recipe uses mixed tocopherols, organic apple cider vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract as preservatives. There are no artificial preservatives anywhere in the ingredient list, consistent with how Plato preserves their full treat line.

Q7: Can these be broken into smaller pieces for training?

Ans: Yes. The chewy jerky texture makes these easy to cut or break apart by hand. Smaller pieces work well for high-frequency training rewards, small breeds, or situations where you want to give frequent bites without adding too many calories at once.
