With that said, you will never find an ingredient in
the product line that is "not fit for human consumption." A human-grade
ingredient is defined as an ingredient that has met the standards for human
consumption and has undergone stringent testing protocols to insure quality and
the absence of anything not fit for humans.
THERE'S A REASON WE CALL THESE HEALTHY HEARTS.
They are simply the best stuff, with nothing artificial. Made
for the Land of PureGold Foundation by a full service, USDA certified organic
manufacturer of USA-made dog treats, the huge Maryland facility is only 30
minutes from the foundation.
The one-inch heart shape can be broken into smaller
bits for training purposes, and there are a huge 120 healthy hearts per
8-ounces! Available in 1/2-pound, 1-pound, and 10-treat sample bags.
For 5 lb size, there is bulk style packaging in a clear bag. You
can get the regular 1-inch sized hearts or 1/4-inch Minis (Stars, Hearts, Bones)
which are fabulous for training.

REASONING BEHIND OUR INGREDIENT CHOICES
Buckwheat flour is an excellent source of magnesium, copper, and dietary fiber.
While we happily embrace its health benefits, it also has an enticing nutty
flavor. Buckwheat flour is a high fiber, high protein alternative to white
flour.
Coconut is known to stimulate metabolism, increase energy, aid
digestion, and benefit joints, skin, and coat.
Broccoli is filled with mighty nutrients such as vitamins C and
E, potassium, folate, calcium and fiber. It actually packs more nutrients than
any other vegetable.
Casomorphin is an opioid peptide (protein fragment) derived from
the digestion of the milk protein casein. Casomorphins attach to the brain's
opiate receptors to cause a calming effect in much the same way heroin and
morphine do. In fact, since Cheese is processed to express out all the liquid,
it's an incredibly concentrated source of casomorphins. You might call it dairy
crack.
Turmeric has been proven to have liver-protective qualities. In
addition to its liver-helping effects, turmeric also has: anticancer properties,
anti-inflammatory properties, antimicrobial characteristics, cardiovascular
system benefits and intestinal benefits (decreases gas formation).
