If you are looking for a tasty, healthy, pure meat treat for your four-legged friend, then you’ve come to the right place! Dr. Becker's treats are made from 100% USA born & bred USDA inspected (human grade) organ meat with absolutely NO GRAIN of ANY kind! That’s right… there is not one ounce of filler added, thereby giving a “true” definition of what an “all-natural” or “holistic” treat should be. Created for healthy pets who naturally crave the taste of pure meat, these treats are also ideal for pets dealing with obesity, allergies, kidney/liver issues, diabetes, cancer, and other health-related issues.

DID YOU KNOW? Dogs crave meat because their bodies demand meat for metabolism. Dogs actually require 22 different amino acids but can only synthesize 12 of these internally. That means the other 10 must come from their diet, in the form of high-quality protein, from sources such as beef, bison, chicken, fish, lamb, turkey, duck, venison, elk, goat, and eggs. Organ tissues, like beef & bison liver, provide essential amino acids in order to meet your dog's high protein needs. Ounce for ounce, it provides the greatest amount of protein. Four ounces of raw beef liver actually provides more than 22 grams of protein. Animal liver is also one of the most nutrient-rich foods available, supplying . . .
  The most concentrated amount of vitamin A of all food sources (18,000 mcg of vitamin in 3.5 ounces).
A rich source of heme ironfive times more easily absorbed than non-heme (from plants) iron.
One of the few natural sources of vitamin D.
An excellent source of vitamin c and all the B vitamins (particularly B12).
A good source of phosphorus, copper and trace minerals.

We have been buying and evaluating treats for too many years to admit. And, we have gone the extra mile in creating our own training treats. However, liver-based treats have not been those we've tried to do ourselves. They take a bit more of finesse and therefore, we were thrilled when first discovering Dr. Becker's Bison Bites.

These treats are crispy wonders. We have no idea how they get this phenomenal texture but we love it. They are so easy to break into small pieces, for training or simply to be conscientious, as we do not want to spend so many calories on a treat. As each individual bag of Dr. Becker’s Bites, no matter the variety, is hand-made from the beginning to end of the process, no two treats are identical. They can vary in shape, color and size, as shown here.

New Wellness Line Dr. Becker’s Bites is paving the way as we step into the next generation of treats focusing on particular health issues of our dogs and cats. Integrating natural herbs and supplements into the treats, the Wellness Bites provide an exceptional addition to an existing diet designed to improve your pet’s overall health and well-being. Her incorporation of resveratrol is most welcome as we've been talking about this incredible supplement for years in the preventative fight against cancer.

Dr. Becker has also created an almost too good to be true must-have product for every dog owner. Bowel health is one of the top 10 reasons owners bring their pets for healthcare. Supporting your pet’s gastrointestinal health is a key factor in helping to make sure your pet is living the best life possible. Her remarkable Complete Probiotics for Pets brings together 10 of the most powerful strains of beneficial bacteria that are most effective for promoting optimal gastrointestinal health in your cats and dogs, providing over 58 billion bacteria in every serving. Supporting your pet’s production of B vitamins, especially folic acid and biotin, and immune system function by helping them remove toxins, it is a powerful way for you to help offer your pets a happy and healthy life.

We are also excited about the new book (which we will be reviewing soon), Dr. Becker's REAL FOOD for Healthy Dogs & Cats: Simple Homemade Food.

Why does a bag of Dr. Becker’s Bites cost more than most other treats?  Because you are getting what you pay for! Could we cut the price in half by using grain (or another filler) as the primary ingredient? Of course… which is what most manufacturers do. However, most vets will agree that the healthiest treat available is a pure meat treat. Meat costs more than grain… and is healthier for your pet.
What is the “white stuff” on the back of the treat?  The white coloration is baked fat. Dr. Becker’s Bites does not “top coat” the treats for flavor with sprayed fat… we don’t need to. Instead, the flavor is literally (and naturally) baked into each treat. It’s the fat that provides most of the flavor for any treat. When fat is baked, its coloration tends to turn a chalky-white.
How should I store the bag? Can I freeze it?  After opening, we recommend storing each bag of Dr. Becker’s Bites in your refrigerator. Freezing will not hurt the treat, but upon thawing, some moisture will be induced into the treat.
Why are their variations in color, shape and size?  Each individual bag of Dr. Becker’s Bites is hand-made from the beginning to end of the process. No two treats are identical, yet each individual treat has received hands-on care with the health of your pet in mind.
I am a trainer. Do Dr. Becker’s Bites come in smaller sizes?  We designed our treat with trainers in mind. Dr. Becker’s Bites can be broken into whatever size you wish to reward your pet with.



Dr. Becker's BISON Bites 

Dr. Becker's BISON Bites are made in Illinois from free-range, grass-fed North Dakotan Bison Liver and Heart. This 100% pure meat "bite" is free from pesticides, herbicides, hormones and antibiotics commonly found in beef. It also contains no grains. It is low in fat and high in protein and essential fatty acids. And, Bison heart provides one of the highest natural sources of CoQ10 found in any meat source.


 

 

This treat has been recognized as a “Top Pick” for dogs by Whole Dog Journal (the nation’s premier reference on the health and nutritional needs of dogs).

As a veterinarian focused on the health and nutritional requirements of our pets, I can confidently say this is the healthiest treat on the market.-Karen Shaw Becker, DVM, NMD
 
Bison is non-allergenic, making it easily digested by dogs with a red meat intolerance. It is considered to be a highly nutrient dense food (the proportion of protein, fat, minerals & fatty acids are high when compared to its caloric value). Bison allowed to graze on natural grasses is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Grass-fed Bison is also high in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), a potent substance that blocks tumor growth, reduces obesity, reduces the risk of diabetes, and stimulates the immune system.
