Charlee Bear Dog Treats Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Charlee Bear is celebrating 25 years of making healthy low calorie dog treats.  We are celebrating with every doggie and pet parent who has used a Charlee Bear Dog Treat to say I love you or reward a good effort.  We treasure the bond between humans and canines and our goal was to create products that make that bond stronger while keeping dogs lean and healthy.

We understand how important it is for dogs to maintain a healthy weight.  Canine obesity is a serious problem threatening the health of our dogs.  We also understand the fun and importance of rewards and treats.  That is why, 25 years ago, we set out to develop a low calorie treat that dogs of all sizes would love. Our original treats are only 3 calories each.

We have always used simple, natural ingredients that are easy to understand.  We wanted pet parents to be able to understand what they were giving to their dogs.  We were pioneers in Natural Dog Treats working to create simple, healthy options.

ORIGINAL CHARLEE BEAR DOG TREATS

With the help of veterinarians, food scientists, bakers, trainers, people and dogs, we developed Pocket Perfect® Charlee Bear® Dog Treats. Our earliest treats were made by hand in a neighborhood bakery and delivered to stores in our own cars. We don't make our treats by hand anymore because our treats are used by trainers and dog lovers all over the US and Canada. 

GRAIN-FREE, ALL NATURAL BEAR CRUNCH

In response to our devoted customers’ requests, we developed a low-calorie grain-free dog treat with the same love and care that we used to develop our original Charlee Bear Dog Treats.

We created three great Bear Crunch flavors using turkey, chicken, pork and berries, fruits and veggies. We use chick pea flour, an excellent source of protein. We stuck to simple natural ingredients that are low in calories and high in flavor. Trainers and doggie parents are telling us dogs love these treats. Our new process has created a "special LIGHT crunch". Our Grain Free treats are also "Pocket Perfect®" Keep some in your pocket for fun on a walk or outing.

We hope you will help us to celebrate 25 years of saying “I love you” with a Charlee Bear Dog Treat.

Redbarn Pet Products, a premium manufacturer of pet food, treats and chews, is proud to announce the latest addition to their canned food line, Redbarn Wildwood Stews.

DIY Eat: Delish Dog Treats You Can Make at Home!

Beef, Pumpkin & Quinoa Burgers
These treats are quick and easy to make and are a great choice if your pup has sensitivities to gluten and common grains. Quinoa is technically a seed, not a true grain, and it’s not used in most pet foods. Makes 12 to 18 burgers.

Ingredients
2 cups uncooked instant quinoa
1⁄2 cup canned (unsweetened) or fresh cooked pumpkin
3⁄4 cup ground beef
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 free-range egg

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet.
2.  In a medium bowl, combine the quinoa and pumpkin.  Add the beef, parsley, and egg. Mix until well blended.
3.  Use your hands or two spoons to shape the mixture into balls of a size appropriate for your dog. Place each on the baking sheet and gently flatten into “burgers.” Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until slightly golden on the outside, but soft in the middle. Cool before serving. These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week.

The Dog Obsessed Aren’t Surprised to Hear That…
As if we needed further proof that our dogs love to be with us at all times, a recent neuroimaging study conducted by scientists at Emory University showed that, when presented with a variety of smells, a dog favours his owner’s scent above all others. And not only that, but his brain lights up, with neurons firing like lights on a pinball machine, when he smells it. What does that tell you? If you want a happy dog, take him everywhere!
