Our Peanut Butter Honey Flavor Dog Treats are a delicious snack for dogs and one of our most popular products. Recent news accounts of salmonella tainted peanut butter has understandably raised questions about the safety of every product that includes peanut butter, including our treats.  Although there is a potential risk for canines, salmonella is rare in dogs. The raw peanut butter is the main risk. Salmonella is killed at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. We bake our treats at 185 degrees Fahrenheit.  In addition, our supplier is an American company and is not included among the suppliers of this recent salmonella outbreak.  We are confident, therefore, that our Peanut Butter Honey Flavor Dog Treats are both safe for our customers’ dog and safe for individuals to handle.
