Dukes Organics Healthy Roots

In todays society it is common practice to feed our pets processed and artificial foods containing preservatives, additives and artificial flavourings and ingredients and so it is very important to incorporate some healthy vegetables into your dogs diet.

Dukes Organics help you do just that. These handmade treats using 100% Organic ingredients are made in the UK and provide a variety of important nutrients that they cannot get from commercial dog food.

A dog’s digestive tract does not have the ability to break down vegetables as we do. The vegetables in our treats have been shredded to make pulp, therefore breaking down the cellulose coating to make sure they are completely digestable.

They are then dehydrated, not cooked and therefore all the natural enzymes and essential nutrients that your pet needs for immunity and digestion are intact.

These delicious treats can be used daily as rewards or can be sprinkled on food to help maintain your pet’s health, vitality and promote longevity.
