Animal Cookies
There’s a reason your dog always begs at the table. Whatever you’re eating tastes like Fancy Feast compared to his Purina Chow. Instead of feeding him your leftovers, offer one of the treats made just for dogs with all natural, vet-approved ingredients from Pet Power Hawai‘i.
Homebaked in Kailua by founder Taryn Matsuda, the crunchy, cookie-like treats come in flavors any poi dog will love. There are Okinawan Sweet Potato Treats, Azuki and Peanut Butter Cookies, and Wheat-Free Kabocha Pumpkin Treats, among others.
Matsuda uses simple human food to make the special snacks – just flours, oats, vegetable oil, honey and
others. There aren’t any bacon or other meat flavors since Pet Power doesn’t use the preservatives those ingredients require.
Pet Power’s treats are rigorously taste-tested with Matsuda’s own two dogs and the ingredients are double-checked by a vet to ensure that all are safe and gentle on a dog’s digestive system. Next up is a line of fully organic recipes.
The little goodies come with a complete ingredient list right on the label, so you know they’re even safe for humans to eat.
But paws off.
