Mutt Butter (treats and snacks)

 

At Mutt Butter, they decided to make simple peanut butter treats for dogs that do not contain added salt or sugar. 

Peanuts are naturally loaded with good oils and minerals. They also have 25% protein, which, along with the oils, aids the dog’s overall health. 

Mutt Butter is perfect for filling dog chew toys, adding to lick pads, or as a tasty meal supplement.

But more than anything else, MuttButter products offer a whole lot of happiness and fun for dogs to enjoy!

The products include peanut butter for dogs, dog treat cookies, and carob-coated peanuts.

Available in most supermarkets, pet shops, online shops and the company’s website.
